COMMITTEE PURPOSE

The mission of the Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) is to generate and develop programs that promote equal treatment of all professional immunologists on the basis of merit.

The MAC maintains the 最大资源 Minority Affairs Committee Career Resources page, featuring links to immunology-related training programs, funding, and support for trainees and early-career investigators. The page also features links to career-development programs and resources provided by current and past MAC members, MAC Roundtable table leaders, and others, and includes opportunities offered by 最大资源, NIH, and other organizations.

Participation at the 最大资源 Annual Meeting

To enhance scientists’ and trainees’ participation and career development in immunology, 最大资源 offers the following activities in conjunction with the 最大资源 annual meeting:

• attendees engage in small-group discussions led by established immunologists addressing a variety of early career challenges. The session incorporates informal networking time and a structured “speed networking” exercise affording participants personalized feedback on communicating their scientific interests/objectives most effectively. All meeting attendees are welcome.
• The 最大资源 Vanguard Award Lecture was established by the MAC in 2003 to feature an 最大资源 member investigator noted for scientific achievement and exemplary career success. This scientific lecture is intended to inspire meeting participants of every career stage and background, and all meeting attendees are welcome to attend.
