National Postdoctoral Association Announces 2025-2026 IMPACT Fellowship Program

The NPA has announced the opening of the application process for the NPA IMPACT Fellowship Program ("IMPACT") class of 2025-2026. All current postdocs are eligible to apply to become an IMPACT Fellow and applications are not limited to individuals at NPA member institutions.

Apply!

Launched in 2021, the NPA IMPACT Fellowship Program (“IMPACT”) increases access to opportunities for early-career researchers based at U.S. institutions and from marginalized communities to build skills, understand strengths and develop networks. IMPACT provides participants with access to personal and career resources with a cohort of peers so that they can strategically build upon their existing skills and advance in their careers in the direction they choose. 

A central component of the Fellowship is funded Individual IMPACT Projects (IIPs) that allow Fellows to take skills learned during the Fellowship and apply them through a project in their home communities. Individuals completing the program may gain additional opportunities as IMPACT alums.

Each iteration of IMPACT provides a 16-month fellowship for six early-career researchers and includes components such as peer networking engagement; specialized interaction opportunities with NPA speakers;  IIP development and execution; external mentoring resources; individual strengths assessments and individualized interpretation; attendance at the NPA Annual Conference in San Francisco in March 2026.

After completing the IMPACT Fellowship Program, Fellows are expected to feel empowered and capable to use the knowledge, tools and resources that they gained from the program to implement IIPs at their institutions to contribute to their professional communities with particular attention to advancing the success of individuals from marginalized populations. (Note that "communities" often refers to the postdoctoral communities at host institutions; however, other communities are also allowable in this context.)

Apply!

All data collected through the application process will be used to review applicants for the IMPACT Fellowship Program. Your data submitted will be evaluated based on a candidate rubric and shared with IMPACT Task Force members.

NOTE:

1. The NPA seeks a cohort that is diverse (e.g., gender, institutions, geography, race, etc.)
2. Applicants must serve in their postdoc positions through at least Dec 2026. 
3. This is an honorary fellowship. There is no stipend provided. There are, however, many other benefits (e.g., NPA pays costs of all programming, travel to NPA Conference, IIP seed grant).
4. Industry, government, national laboratory, and postdocs at other non-academic institutions are eligible to apply.
5. The NPA seeks leaders who are also in need. 
6. Applications completed entirely or primarily using AI without the ability of the review committee to understand more about you as an individual will not be successful. (If this raises accessibility issues, please contact us using the email below.)
7. Applicants must be based in the U.S.

Deadline: June 30, 2025

Registration is open for online workshop "Related Poetic Inquiry as a Bridge between the Arts and Sciences".  Participants will explore poetic inquiry using a "wicked science" training framework to view and understand research and teaching in a new way and from multiple perspectives in this online workshop. 

In a rapidly changing world, it’s important to prepare students for possible future career paths. Using a “wicked science” training framework, participants will explore the creative potential of arts-based research (ABR), more specifically poetic inquiry, to view and understand research and teaching in a new way and from multiple perspectives. In the first session, participants will be introduced to ABR methods and how they can expand upon both qualitative and scientific methodologies. Then, they will apply these methods to their own research and teaching contexts through the process of poetic inquiry between sessions.

Event Dates: July 24 & July 8, 2025
Time: 12 PM
Venue: Online


Registration opened on Monday, June 9 at 11 AM CT and will remain open until capacity is reached. The workshop is limited to 40 participants, with enrollment prioritized for CIRTL members and alumni on a first-come, first-served basis.
