WHY WE EXIST

We saw a gap. We built a bridge.

Despite earning nearly half of all STEM degrees, women hold less than 25% of STEM jobs. That gap does not happen by accident. It happens when professionals, especially women and those from underrepresented backgrounds, enter the field without the mentorship, networks, and career support they need to stay and grow.

AdaMarie was created to close that gap. Inspired by the real stories of professionals navigating systemic barriers, and by organizations eager to support and develop future-ready talent, we set out to build a community where opportunity and access go hand in hand. Ultimately, turning belonging into a tangible career advantage.

What Makes AdaMarie Different

  • Full STEM ecosystem. Software developers and clinical researchers. Data scientists and public health professionals. Engineers and biologists. If your career lives in STEM, AdaMarie was built with you in mind.

  • Career stage focus — intentionally built for the first zero to eight years, when professionals decide whether their chosen field has a place for them. That specificity means deeper, more relevant support.

  • Real infrastructure powered by Advanced Clinical, a company with three decades of STEM workforce expertise behind the mission.

The Gap
50% of STEM degrees are earned by women
Yet women hold less than 25% of STEM jobs, a gap that widens at every level of seniority.
50
Retention
70%+ of STEM employers say retention is their biggest challenge
It is not a pipeline problem. It is an access and support problem; one that starts early and compounds over time.
70
The Window
0–8 years — the most formative window of a STEM career
This is when professionals decide whether the field has a place for them. It is also the most underserved stage of the journey.

WHY ADAMARIE

Named after two women who changed everything.

Both worked in fields that were not built for them. Both changed those fields anyway. AdaMarie carries their names as a reminder of what becomes possible when women and underrepresented groups have access to the right support.

Ada Lovelace
World's first computer programmer
A mathematician whose vision of what computing could be preceded the technology to make it possible by more than a century.
Ada
Marie Curie
First woman to win a Nobel Prize
The only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different sciences. Her work on radioactivity fundamentally changed the fields of physics and chemistry.

POWERED BY ADVANCED CLINICAL

Backed by three decades of STEM workforce expertise.

AdaMarie is a division of Advanced Clinical — a research services and strategic resourcing organization with decades of experience in clinical research, committed to improving outcomes for patients, sponsors, and the professionals who power the research journey.

The connection runs deeper than an organizational chart. Advanced Clinical's involvement in the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association Gender Equity Think Tank is what surfaced the access gap that AdaMarie was built to address. That work produced a community.

Together, we are working toward the same thing: connecting organizations with future-ready STEM talent, and giving early-career and career-changing professionals the skills, coaching, and networks to grow and sustain careers long-term.
