SCI·FOUNDRY leadership program

Unlock Your Leadership Potential and Build a Thriving Research Career


Are You Struggling to Lead Your Research Team Effectively?

As a high-performing researcher or clinical scientist, you’ve likely mastered your technical expertise. But leading a successful research program requires more than great science. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by managing a team, securing consistent funding, or juggling leadership responsibilities with your personal life, you’re not alone.

This is especially true for MDs who are trying to get involved in research. Juggling clinical responsibilities while building a research program can feel like an impossible balancing act. Between patient care, administrative duties, and the demand to publish, there’s little time left to focus on growing your research program or securing the funding you need.

For all researchers, the skills of raising funding, building a team, and growing a reputation are nuanced and difficult. Even though these are often considered "soft skills," they can be just as challenging to learn as the hard scientific skills. It’s like needing a second PhD in leadership and marketing—but nobody has time for that. That’s why SCI•Foundry exists—to help you develop these skills without sacrificing your research or personal life.

That’s where the SCI•Foundry Leadership Program (SLP) comes in. Our comprehensive, year-long program is designed to help you transform not just your research, but your entire career.


Why the SCI•Foundry Leadership Program Is Different

Unlike short-term workshops or one-off coaching sessions, the SCI•Foundry Leadership Program offers ongoing, structured support over a full year. Built by researchers for researchers, SLP addresses the key challenges you face as a scientist by focusing on three essential areas: Mindset, Leadership, and Funding. Together, these form the Triangle of Care, a framework that reinforces sustainable success in your research career.

“As a researcher, leading a team or growing a sustainable program requires more than just technical skill. The SCI•Foundry Leadership Program is designed to help you develop the mindset, leadership, and funding strategies you need for long-term success.”
– Dr. Morgan Giddings, Founder, SCI•Foundry
