IBP Faculty and BRI Diversity Directors, Ketema Paul and Gina Poe Secure UC-HBCU Diversity Grant

IBP Faculty and BRI Diversity Directors, Ketema Paul and Gina Poe secure a three-year UC-HBCU Diversity grant for the BRI. This grant will fund underrepresented college students to prepare themselves for a career involving research via summer research projects that are supported by the grant in the laboratories of BRI faculty. This grant will add to the current support of this summer program by BRI sources so that more students can be given opportunity and that a programatic relationship with Spelman College, Delaware State University and Morgan State University can be developed.

The program will begin in the summer of 2018.
