The Anti-Racism Collaborative, administered by the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID), has awarded summer research grants to 27 U-M graduate students, including seven SOE students. The Rackham Graduate School and the Center for Racial Justice (CRJ) in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy are co-sponsoring the awards, which total $122,062.
“We received exciting, outstanding proposals from students representing disciplines from across the U-M. The funded projects reflect the broad range of research that our graduate students are engaged in, focused on advancing anti-racist action,” says Tabbye Chavous, NCID director and LSA associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion. “NCID is excited to work with this year’s grantees to foster connections and build a community of support as they aim to impact society through their scholarship. We are proud to support the training of graduate students, such as this year’s grantees, who are critical to an anti-racist academy.”
