NIIMBL is organizing a special workforce session at this year’s National Meeting, scheduled for June 23-25, 2026.
This Request for Information (RFI) invites interested and eligible parties to self-nominate for participation in a special “Shark Tank” like session at the National Meeting, with an outcome of identifying the most promising new and emerging non-degree workforce program that directly addresses the challenges of building the biopharma manufacturing pipeline.
This interactive session will kick off with a brief overview of the Impact Assessment Framework, equipping the audience with the lenses through which program impact is measured by NIIMBL. Then, up to three organizations will take the stage to pitch their most innovative and impactful workforce programs. Each organization will have 20 to 30 minutes to deliver a 5–7-minute pitch and respond to questions from a panel of experts representing industry, academia, and government.
Following the pitches, both the audience and the expert panel will vote to determine which program demonstrates the greatest potential for advancing the biopharmaceutical workforce.
Questions can be sent to [email protected].
The submission deadline is March 16, 2026, at 5 pm ET.
