For Affiliates

ESIN’s membership includes a cohort of Affiliates who have information and resources that can help connect Scholars to professional opportunities that advance their research and their careers.  Affiliates can be individuals or organizational representatives of foundations, government agencies, corporations, academic institutions, human resources departments or academic departments.
Most Affiliates choose to use ESIN as a clearing house for posting job announcements, training opportunities, and calls for proposals knowing that the information they share will reach a special target audience.  

However, if you are an Affiliate who is interested in connecting with scholars and mentors on a more personal level, this can be arranged by contacting Dr. Sean Joe (sjoe@umich.edu).  For example, as an Affiliate, you can connect with Dr. Joe to: 
 

  • Conduct targeted and specialized searches for skilled early career and junior researchers interested in issues related to people of color for their organizations; and
  • Support the work of ESIN by contributing information that may be useful to its members or making a monetary donation.
  • Promote your organization to our network of over 700 members, via online trainings and other partnerships with ESIN.

Benefits

Like other members of ESIN, Affiliates enjoy benefits of their own.  Included among them:

  • Access to a committed, national network of junior investigators, researchers, and faculty engaged in critical research-, prevention-, and treatment-based work in the fields of social, behavioral, and natural sciences;
  • The opportunity to identify and reach out to potential job candidates from universities and colleges across the country;
  • The ability to search and obtain the latest findings and research on ethnic/racial minorities;
  • The opportunity to support future generations of scholars and researchers, and in the process help redress the critically inadequate representation of investigators of color among federally funded research scientists.

Excellent Scholarship is a Prerequisite for Social Change
