The goal of the Distinguished Visiting Scholar Program is to host mini-sabbatical visits by outstanding scientists who have a demonstrated interest in promoting diversity in science, or a unique experience or perspective on diversity in science.

These mini-sabbaticals are part of a broader diversity program at the Gladstone Institutes to raise awareness of gender and ethnicity issues in science. A key feature of the Distinguished Visiting Scholar Program is to expose Gladstone scientists to scholars who are characterized by excellence in science and have a demonstrated interest in promoting diversity in science. The multi-day mini-sabbatical nature of these visits provides a good opportunity for the visiting scholars to serve as a role model and to provide Gladstone scientists-in-training with exposure to outstanding senior scientists from diverse backgrounds.
