UNITE Workshop on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Understanding and Addressing Structural Racism and Health
Thursday & Friday, July 18-19, 2024 | Virtual Event - From December 1, 2021 through February 1, 2022, UNITE hosted 14 listening sessions with external stakeholders who work and serve in diverse settings. The insights shared provided valuable information on the full range of issues and challenges facing diverse talent and will help develop UNITE priorities and an action plan. Topics of interest included changing culture to promote equity, inclusivity, and justice; improving policies, transparency, and oversight; strengthening career pathways, training, mentoring, and the professoriate; ensuring fairness in review and funding deliberations; enhancing funding and research support for diverse institutions and historically under-resourced research areas; and structural racism in the biomedical research enterprise. High-level summaries of each session are forthcoming and once final, will be added to the corresponding listening session.
