Dr. Tammy Collins leads the Burroughs Wellcome Fund’s efforts in interdisciplinary science, including the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface and Innovation in Regulatory Science Awards. Dr. Collins spent the past decade with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences as its director of the NIEHS Office of Fellows’ Career Development. During her time with NIEHS, Dr. Collins focused on increasing mentorship at NIEHS, providing training on what it means to be a good mentor. She also led a team that published results of 15 years of NIEHS postdoctoral career outcomes in Nature Biotechnology. As part of that publication, she helped establish the NIEHS Alumni Career Outcomes Dashboard, which currently has data on 20 years of alumni outcomes.
