Congratulations to Educational Psychology assistant professor Nidia Ruedas-Gracia on receiving a National Institute of Health (NIH) Diversity Supplement Award. This award is earmarked for early-career investigators. Ruedas-Gracia will be responsible for leading efforts to examine racial and ethnic disparities in biomedical research and design and implement methods to foster participation in research equitably and ethically. Nidia will work with Dr. Tiffany Yip of Fordham University in developing an NIH R01 application.
Diversity supplements are administrative supplements sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that are intended to improve the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting post-baccalaureate, predoctoral students, post-doctorates, and eligible investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups demonstrated to be underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences.
