Janssen Scholars of Oncology Diversity Engagement Program (SODEP)

Posted on June 28, 2021

by Rebecca Lopez

No Comments

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Janssen Scholars of Oncology Diversity Engagement Program (SODEP): details are available at www.janssensodep.com. See the flyer here. SODEP consists of three steps:

Exposure to industry at the virtual Janssen Oncology Day, an all-day program that will provide an overview of the various opportunities within science and medicine.
One-on-one mentorship. Up to 10 scholars who attend Janssen Oncology Day will be selected for this step of the program, in which the scholars will be paired with Janssen leaders in an ongoing one-year mentoring experience, where they will receive career coaching and guidance. In addition, scholars will receive a $10,000 stipend for conference travel, research supplies, and training courses.
Potential placement. If scholars are interested in transitioning into a career in industry, their relationship with their mentor will provide them with support in identifying and applying for any appropriate open positions at Janssen.

Those that meet the following requirements are eligible to participate in SODEP:

self-identify as African-American/Black or Hispanic
citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada
full-time PhD students in year 2 or later, Pharm D students, 1st/2nd year medical students, and postdoctoral fellows
engaged or interested in oncology or other closely related disciplines such as immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, computational biology/data sciences, clinical research, and pharmacology.

Registration is currently open for the Janssen Oncology Day, which will take place on September 15, 2021. We encourage early registration, as admission is rolling and will be closed when we reach 100 registrants.

We all believe that an increase in scientists and physicians from diverse backgrounds is a necessity to address the numerous health inequities that currently exist in certain populations within our society. The intent of this program is to provide promising students a unique opportunity towards obtaining the best research and employment opportunities within industry or academia, and to set themselves up for success in their long-term career in the sciences.

Navigating the publishing world can be a daunting process for established and emerging scholars alike. Whether you’re preparing to publish a book or review, or working on journal articles or dissertations, Penn Libraries can help you make informed decisions about where and how to publish.

Services for Authors

The Libraries offers services for authors at every step of the publishing journey. Our team of subject specialists can offer customized recommendations in identifying, evaluating, and assessing the impact of journals and publishers across disciplines. Request a consultation or browse the Libraries’ online resources to start developing a publishing plan that suits your project and audience, choose the best journal or publisher for your work, and identify metrics and tools to measure the influence and scholarly impact of your publications.

The Libraries’ subject specialists, including a new dedicated copyright advisor, can also help you navigate the finer points of copyright, fair use, and open-access publishing. Learn how to retain your rights under copyright as you publish, increase the discoverability of your work, and use the Creative Commons licensing system to control the way you share your work. The Libraries also manages ScholarlyCommons, a freely-accessible repository for the scholarly output of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania.
