Welcome to HARP-UCSF

HARP stands for Helping to Accelerate Reseach Potential. The HARP program at UCSF will provide a career development program to early career investigators from historically under-represented groups who are supported by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). We will provide theory-driven and evidence-based interventions that target scientific self-efficacy and identity to increase perseverance. The goal of the program is for scholars to obtain the next appropriate level of funding to establish independent programs of research. The long-term implications include the potential to realize both direct benefits for program scholars as well as broader indirect effects for future researchers.
