Equity, inclusion & diversity
The National Institute of Health (NIH) and Institute of Medicine (IOM) call for greater diversity in the research workforce as a means to address health disparities. Attracting scholars of color from various disciplines such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, sociologists, social workers, and nutritionists, into academic research careers will help in this endeavor.
Since retention of researchers from underrepresented populations in academic careers is essential, we are committed to making the environment supportive, academically rewarding, culturally enriching and professionally satisfying.
