The Office of Public Scholarship is pleased to celebrate its elevation to the Office of the Provost with a lecture by MacArthur Fellow Ruha Benjamin. In this lecture, Dr. Benjamin will take a transdisciplinary approach to public scholarship, inviting us into the world of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many entanglements, and providing conceptual tools to decode tech predictions with historical and sociological insight.

Dr. Benjamin's new book, Imagination: A Manifesto, will be available for purchase and signing following the lecture.

Please join the Office of Public Scholarship for its launch within the Office of the Provost, featuring a William C. Ferguson invited lecture by MacArthur Fellow Ruha Benjamin.

From automated decision systems in healthcare, policing, education and more, technologies have the potential to deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to harmful practices of a previous era. In this talk, Ruha Benjamin takes a transdisciplinary approach to public scholarship, inviting us into the world of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many entanglements, and providing conceptual tools to decode tech predictions with historical and sociological insight. When it comes to AI, Benjamin shifts our focus from the dystopian and utopian narratives we are sold, to a sober reckoning with the way these tools are already a part of our lives. Whereas dystopias are the stuff of nightmares, and utopias the stuff of dreams... ustopias are what we create together when we are wide awake.

Dr. Ruha Benjamin is the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, founding director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab, and an award-winning author. She is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Fellowship in 2024.

Dr. Benjamin's new book, Imagination: A Manifesto, will be available for purchase and signing from 6-6:30 p.m.

This lecture is made possible by the William C. Ferguson fund and is co-sponsored by the Department of English and the Department of Sociology.

The Unbearable Burden of Black Studies and the Enduring Fight for American Democracy

The Unbearable Burden of Black Studies and the Enduring Fight for American Democracy

# data[].attributes.body
Black studies has been under constant attack as a threat to American society since its founding in the late 1960s. But recently, these assaults have intensified, leading to state legislative action to outlaw Black and ethnic studies, and more expansively laws banning diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices. How does the field’s past help explain this moment and what the future holds for higher education and American democracy?

In-person and online attendance options

Khalil Gibran Muhammad’s scholarship examines the broad intersections of racism, economic inequality, criminal justice and democracy in U.S. history. He is co-editor of “Constructing the Carceral State,” a special issue of the Journal of American History, and contributor to a National Research Council study, The Growth of Incarceration in the United States: Exploring Causes and Consequences (2014), as well as the award-winning author of The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America. He is currently co-directing a National Academy of Sciences study on reducing racial inequalities in the criminal justice system.

Muhammad’s writing and scholarship have been featured in national print and broadcast media outlets, such as the New Yorker, Washington Post, The Nation, National Public Radio, PBS Newshour, Moyers and Company, MSNBC and the New York Times, which includes his sugar essay for The 1619 Project. He has appeared in a number of feature-length documentaries, including Amend: The Fight for America (2021), the Oscar-nominated 13th (2016) and Slavery by Another Name (2012). Before joining Harvard, he was director Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library and the world’s leading library and archive of global black history. In January 2025, Muhammad will begin an appointment as professor of African American studies and public affairs at Princeton University.

This event is part of the James E. McLeod Memorial Lecture on Higher Education annual series.

John A. Mundell During my years as a PhD student in Black studies, I regularly overheard the allegation that undergraduate students took our classes because they wanted an “easy A.” Worse was learning that students’ advisers across campus had, at times, persuaded them onto our rosters to somehow offset a poor performance in “rigorous” courses such as Organic Chemistry or Calculus II. With the expectation of ease, some students expressed frustration with the reading load.

National Coming Out Day 2024: Celebrating Authenticity, Challenging Stereotypes, and Promoting Inclusion

# data[].attributes.body
National Coming Out Day (October 11, 2024) is an annual observance that celebrates and supports individuals in the LGBTQ+ community as they share their authentic selves with the world. This day raises awareness about the significance of coming out, challenges stereotypes and prejudices, and promotes acceptance and inclusion.

“Coming Out” vs. “Inviting In”

adapted from the Human Rights Campaign

“Coming Out” has been the common term for someone who acknowledges being LGBTQ+ and it is used throughout many resources on and for LGBTQIA+ people. However, it is important to note that this language centers the persons individuals are coming out to rather than LGBTQIA+ people. It gives the impression that people who don’t identify as cisgender or heterosexual are hiding something from society, rather than acknowledging how homophobia and transphobia create an unwelcoming environment. When publicly identifying as LGBTQ+, individuals are inviting people into a part of their life, and that should be protected and celebrated. No one is asking for permission to be themselves. Individuals control their own narrative, and who and what they allow into their life. You can read more at https://www.hrc.org/campaigns/national-coming-out-day.

Rosh Hashanah (October 3-4) is quickly approaching, followed by Yom Kippur (October 12). As these important holidays draw near, it's a great opportunity to reflect on how we can better support our Jewish colleagues and friends. By offering religious accommodations and being mindful of scheduling, we can take simple yet meaningful steps to foster a more inclusive and respectful community.

SIX ACTION STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO SUPPORT YOUR JEWISH COLLEAGUES & FRIENDS:
Written by Elisa Glick, PhD

1. Respect Religious Observances:
Build a belonging culture by NOT scheduling important, community-wide events on the High Holidays!

2. Accommodate Religious Needs:
Offer reasonable accommodations for religious observance of the High Holidays. Remember, all Jewish holidays start at sundown.

3. Stay Up-to-Date on Holidays:
Use an updated interfaith/world religious calendar since many holidays are not on the same day every year (unlike Christmas). For example, the Jewish, Hindu, and Buddhist calendars are all lunisolar. You can review WashU’s interfaith calendar here.

4. Invite Open Dialogue:
Invite individuals of all religions to share their own needs. Jewish people observe the holidays in different ways. For example, Rosh Hashanah is two days, but many people (including me) observe only one day.

5. Support Student Observance:
Schools and colleges should allow students to be absent to observe religious holidays without penalty. As a reminder, this is in alignment with WashU’s Religious Holiday Class Absence Policy.

6. Provide Extra Time for Students:
Instructors should give students additional time to make up work or exams. This, also, is in alignment with WashU’s Religious Holiday Class Absence Policy.

NPA Accessibility & Inclusion Equity Summit

# data[].attributes.subject
NPA Accessibility & Inclusion Equity Summit

# data[].attributes.body
Through a series of interactive online sessions led by the NPA, the summit seeks to identify barriers – and find paths forward – to greater accessibility and inclusion across the postdoctoral communities. Areas of focus include accessibility and inclusion for individuals with (in)visible disabilities and neurodiverse individuals that allow them to thrive in their postdoctoral work and beyond. Roundtable discussions are currently planned on a variety of topics of interest to the postdoctoral communities featuring postdoctoral researchers and invited representatives from government, industry, nonprofits, and academia.

This summit is designed to shine a spotlight on the barriers that can inhibit full accessibility within the postdoctoral community as well as pathways to increase accessibility and inclusion. The summit amplifies messaging from the lived experiences of neurodiverse individuals or people with disabilities that many in the postdoctoral space may be unfamiliar with. It is the hope of the NPA and its allies that these conversations will lead to further discussions about specific issues and actions toward achieving justice and equity for everyone in the postdoctoral communities.

The Summit will include American Sign Language (ASL) translation services throughout the event.

Perspectives: Honoring the Memory of Mike Brown

# data[].attributes.body
Join us for a reflective session on August 27th as we honor the memory of Mike Brown and discuss the progress and challenges in achieving racial equity in the region. Register here to participate in this important conversation.

On Friday, August 9, we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the murder of Michael Brown, Jr. and the Ferguson Uprising. The impact of his killing and the uprising created unimaginable pain and loss. It also fueled a significant movement for racial justice across the St. Louis region and nationally. From the Ferguson Commission Report to Forward Through Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter movement, a vision and a roadmap for achieving racial justice was created. The impact of August 9, 2014, on the St. Louis region, the country, and the world cannot be overstated, and we encourage you to take time to consider both the pain and growth, the loss, and the commitment to change that came as a result. Since then, we have seen clear evidence of the work that remains. We mourn the loss of numerous unarmed Black people that have been killed since 2014, from George Floyd in 2020 to Sonya Massey only a few weeks ago. We lean on the wise words of our community leaders that the only way forward is through. We commit to keep going.

Washington University School of Medicine was greatly impacted and has continued to grow and change in our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion since the summer of 2014. We are deeply grateful to our partners across campus who have helped to advance all aspects of our work, specifically those who have helped advance our racial equity work through our Understanding Systemic Racism curriculum and our Equity Champions program. Among the most important messages the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion wants to share about the work for equity and justice is that its foundation is relationships. We at Washington University School of Medicine have a responsibility to know and be a part of the communities we serve.

Therefore, in honor of Michael Brown, Jr.’s death and the Ferguson Uprising, we are providing a list of community events to support, resources to advance your understanding around systemic racism, and an invitation to join us on our journey to dismantle systemic racism in all its forms on our campus. We invite you to a Special Perspectives session on August 27th to reflect on where we are 10 years later. We thank you in advance for the actions you take and remind you that you are not alone, and that this work must advance in community. We commit to keep going together.

Objectives of the session include:

Reflecting on the state of racial equity in the region since the death of Mike Brown.

Discussing the Ferguson Commission and Forward Through Ferguson reports on racial equity progress in the region.

Examining changes in WUSM policy and culture in the last ten years.

Hello Colleagues,

We’re pleased to share that our friends at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in partnership with EducationCounsel, have released updated materials for the Sloan-supported project, Diversity and the Law. The revised materials reflect federal legal parameters set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ruling. The materials include in-depth legal resources, policy guides, quick study/key issue documents, and adaptable policy and practice models for advancing DEI and related goals. These comprehensive resources will be particularly helpful to general counsel and other policy makers on your campuses—please do share widely.

Later in 2024, AAAS will release a new set of materials based on the Diversity and the Law resources to better support faculty, staff, and administrators in higher education, as well as legal experts. The new materials will be designed to guide institutional teams in crafting innovative, context-specific, and legally sustainable policies to advance DEI and related goals.

In the meantime, project teams may be interested in this workbook and accompanying slides from Sloan-supported workshops that have taken place since last summer’s decision. You might also share with colleagues this high-level legal overview document or this document addressing illustrative, adaptable policy language that can advance student-focused DEI goals in legally sustainable ways.

As always, if you have any questions or ideas to share, feel free to reach out at dei@sloan.org.

Happy summer,

Lorelle, Tyler, and Latoya
Sloan Higher Education Program Team

A collaboration between Meg Krejci, Mindfulness Consultant and Erin Stampp, in the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

In this 3-part series, we work with the tool of mindfulness to expand our capacity to be present and notice how it supports our work for equity and justice.  We move from not only learning about ourselves and the biases we carry to becoming more able to lean into unpleasantness and cultivate compassion. This is the foundational work needed to build the community and connection that will support healing and restoration needed for transformation.

The 3 sessions include:  lean into unpleasant, cultivate compassion and moving into action in support of one another and healing, connecting and supporting positive change.

Learn about the power of buttons in history and social movements, share your stories, meet local advocates and educators, and make your own buttons!

Local arts educator CJ Mitchell will guide participants as they consider the significance of buttons as a public text and persuasive tool throughout histories, social movements, civic engagement, humanistic inquiries and community building. Participants will also design, create and take home their own buttons!

All ages and generations welcome — snacks and supplies provided.

RSVPs appreciated; click on the button below. We’ll send you an event reminder! “The Power of Buttons” is a pop-up workshop engaging the St. Louis community with a small but powerful public text: the pin-back button. These wearable, shareable public texts are crucial to social movements and organizations but easily overlooked because of their small size and seemingly fun and frivolous nature. Personal stylistic flair as well as visual messages of political or social affiliation, buttons are at once texts and objects; they both document and disseminate personal beliefs and preferences.

Black Journeys Toward Higher Education

April 20, 2024

11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Brown Lounge, Brown Hall

Since our founding in 2020, the Black Graduate Student Association has strived to showcase our work as Black graduate students. With our work being a journey of navigating various Black experiences in academia, our signature event, “Black Journeys Toward Higher Education” will capture both our experiences and work as Black graduate students. This will be a two-part event starting with The State of Black Graduate Students and concluding with The BGSA Conference.

The State of Black Graduate Students

We want to highlight the academic journeys of BGSA members in an editorial piece, “The State of Black Graduate Students”, crafted by our stories. These stories will set the stage for collaborative conversations between the BGSA community and WashU Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) stakeholders to reflect on Black graduate student experiences.

The BGSA Conference

After reflecting on our academic experiences, we’ll celebrate the work we’ve accomplished in the current phase of our academic journeys – whether that be in the beginning, middle, or end. Black graduate students will showcase their research, business pitches, law presentations / oral arguments, artwork, or any other form of graduate work.

What was the experience of Asian American migrants to the Midwest in the late nineteenth century? What did Chinatown in St. Louis look like before its demolition in the 1960s? What happened to Japanese Americans who escaped interment camps and settled in St. Louis during World War II? How did the Asian American immigrants establish successful businesses with the support of the local community? How did national developments in race relations and social activism in the twentieth century influence Asian Americans in St. Louis?

In anticipation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and in recognition of the historical and cultural contributions of individuals within the AAPI community in St. Louis, Washington University Libraries and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion of Washington University in St. Louis invite you to join us for a forum on the history of Asian Americans in St. Louis. With the support of the Missouri Humanities Council, Washington University students and staff have created a series of webpages using GIS (Geographic Information System) technology to showcase the contributions of the Asian American community on St. Louis, called the ‘Asia in St. Louis’ project.

Guest speaker, Anna Crosslin, will speak on her experience as a member of the International Society in St. Louis. The Asia in St. Louis project members will present their StoryMaps which focus on the arrival of early Chinese immigrants, urban life in St. Louis’ first Chinatown (Hop Alley), the relocation of Japanese American students to WashU during World War II, and how national developments in social justice influenced Asian Americans in St. Louis.

Free and open to all, registration is required. Refreshments will be provided.

How do we create a world where everyone belongs? What happens if we don’t?

In The Ethics of Belonging, Dr. Yuria Celidwen synthesizes her research on the deep contemplative wisdom embedded in Indigenous traditions to help solve our most urgent and overwhelming problems – environmental destruction, breakdown of communities, systems of oppression and the mental health pandemic.

She shows us a way forward with practices grounded in Indigenous principles of embodiment and action toward equity, community and ecological awareness, all with proven physical, psychological and environmental benefits.

Dr. Celidwen, a senior fellow at UC Berkeley’s Othering and Belonging Institute, works to reclaim, revitalize and transmit Indigenous wisdom for social and environmental justice. She is the author of the forthcoming book Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Foundations for Collective Well-Being published by Sounds True.

Free, open to all.

Presented by Mindfulness Science & Practice, a multiyear cluster of the Incubator for Transdisciplinary Futures, and the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies.

Queer in Computational and Applied Mathematics (QCAM)

# data[].attributes.body
Jun 24 - 28, 2024

Providence, Rhode Island

The Queer in Computational and Applied Mathematics (QCAM) workshop will be the first workshop to celebrate research advances and foster stronger research networks of LGBTQIA+ mathematicians specializing in computational and applied mathematics. Goals of QCAM are to support LGBTQIA+ academics through mentoring and research opportunities, as well as providing a safe space for researchers across the subfields of computational and applied mathematics to connect, collaborate, and build support networks within the field. In addition, QCAM intends to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in mathematics pertaining to LGBTQIA+ people, especially those with intersectional identities. This conference will be open to all and will ideally engage the wider mathematical audience of LGBTQIA+ allies to develop a community of support.

The scientific program will have invited speakers and contributed sessions that span the field of computational mathematics, with a planned focus on research in computational methods which may include the following fields:

- Mathematical Biology, Ecology, Epidemiology, and/or Oncology;

- Fluids, Materials, and/or Mathematical Physics;

- Data Science;

- Numerical Analysis and Computational Science; and

- Applied Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Geometry, and/or Topology.

These general frameworks will be the basis for the creation of working groups during the conference. In these working groups, QCAM participants will be invited to develop supportive and collaborative research networks with other participants of differing career stages. Furthermore, QCAM will include programming that is dedicated within the LGBTQIA+ community and at the intersection with other underrepresented groups, as well issues pertaining to the leaky STEM pipeline for LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Abstract

The Queer in Computational and Applied Mathematics (QCAM) workshop will be the first workshop to celebrate research advances and foster stronger research networks of LGBTQIA+ mathematicians specializing in computational and applied mathematics. Goals of QCAM are to support LGBTQIA+ academics through mentoring and research opportunities, as well as providing a safe space for researchers across the subfields of computational and applied mathematics to connect, collaborate, and build support networks within the field. In addition, QCAM intends to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in mathematics pertaining to LGBTQIA+ people, especially those with intersectional identities. This conference will be open to all and will ideally engage the wider mathematical audience of LGBTQIA+ allies to develop a community of support.

The scientific program will have invited speakers and contributed sessions that span the field of computational mathematics, with a planned focus on research in computational methods which may include the following fields:

- Mathematical Biology, Ecology, Epidemiology, and/or Oncology;

- Fluids, Materials, and/or Mathematical Physics;

- Data Science;

- Numerical Analysis and Computational Science; and

- Applied Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Geometry, and/or Topology.

These general frameworks will be the basis for the creation of working groups during the conference. In these working groups, QCAM participants will be invited to develop supportive and collaborative research networks with other participants of differing career stages. Furthermore, QCAM will include programming that is dedicated within the LGBTQIA+ community and at the intersection with other underrepresented groups, as well issues pertaining to the leaky STEM pipeline for LGBTQIA+ individuals.

"Join us for an Evening of Insight and Reflection"

In grade school, we often study Dr. King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, but his impact extends far beyond in his fight against racial inequalities. In the later years of his life, Dr. King's ideology evolved into something considered quite radical. He vehemently opposed the Vietnam War, spearheaded the Poor People's Campaign, and championed the cause of guaranteed income.

Join the Association of Black Biomedical Graduate Students, the Black Postdoc Association, and ODEI for an insightful screening of the documentary "King in the Wilderness." This documentary delves into the lesser-explored chapters of Dr. King's life, shedding light on his bold stances and revolutionary ideas.

Following the screening, engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the reduction of Dr. King's legacy to the civil rights movement. Explore the relevance of his ideologies to today's social issues and discover how we can actively contribute to realizing the world he envisioned. This event aims to shift the spotlight to Dr. King's life after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, emphasizing the totality of his enduring legacy."

Dr. King's legacy and commitment to civil rights and eliminating inequities has influenced the fields of medicine and public health. At the Convention of the Medical Committee for Human Rights held in Chicago in March 1955, Dr. King declared: "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhumane." In a 1961 annual report entitled "Equality Now: The President Has the Power," Dr. King called attention to "a considerable amount of discrimination" with regard to health and hospitalization. Consistent with what we might today describe as an antiracist stance, Dr. King influenced the fields of medicine and public health by being among the voices to suggest and champion specific changes in programs and policies that could reduce racial inequity in social determinants of health and health more broadly. This panel of WashU Medicine leaders will reflect on how Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's Legacy has impacted their practice as leaders in medicine and/or biomedical science.

Refreshments will be provided.

Panelists include:

Eva Aagaard, MD
Carol B. and Jerome T. Loeb Professor of Medical Education
Senior Associate Dean for Education, Vice Chancellor for Medical Education

The AHA DOES NOT permit the use of a large language model (LLM - e.g. ChatGPT) or an artificial intelligence tool to generate and/or edit content in peer review critiques. Uploading any portion of a research proposal into a large language model (LLM - e.g. ChatGPT) or an artificial intelligence tool to assist in writing a critique of the proposal is explicitly prohibited as it is a violation of the AHA's Peer Reviewer Certification Statement (to include confidentiality, non-disclosure, and conflict of interest).
Biosketch Addition: Inclusive, safe, diverse environment
All applicants (excluding fellows) are to include a statement in the Personal Statement section of their biographical sketch that explicitly states how they contribute to a safe, inclusive, and diverse work environment. In addition, mentors on Fellowships, Career Development Awards, and Diversity Supplements should complete recognized training specific to sexual and gender-based harassment.
Change to AHA Open Data Policy
For awards beginning in FY 23-24, the AHA has modified its Open Data Policy to align with the NIH's new timeline for data sharing, effective for proposals submitted to the AHA after July 1, 2023. More on AHA Open Science Policies can be found here.

Revised AHA Open Data Policy: The AHA requires certain applicants to include a data sharing plan with the proposal. Any factual data that is needed for independent verification of research results must be made freely and publicly available in an AHA-approved repository as soon as possible, and no later than the time of an associated publication or the end of the award period (and any no-cost extension), whichever comes first.

* Existing awards are subject to the policy in place when the award agreement was signed. If a new award agreement is required (e.g., change of PI, change of institution) award is subject to policies in place at the time the agreement is signed.
Supporting Rheumatic Heart Disease Research
The AHA is helping to support a broader approach to research funding focused on Rheumatic Heart Disease. To that effect, the AHA is committing to funding research in this specific area across all scientific disciplines (basic, clinical, and population) within any current AHA programs. No additional pre-proposal or proposal materials are necessary outside of individual AHA program criteria; awardees will be designated from the existing applicant pool within each program.

Budget

AHA does not pay indirect costs on fellowships.

Annual Stipend - Matches the NIH scale for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows at the time the AHA publishes its RFA.

Health Insurance
Predoctoral Fellow: $4,550 per year
Postdoctoral Fellow: $12,200 per year

Note: Stipend may be used to further supplement health insurance costs, however, the health insurance allowance may not be used for any other purpose.

Project Support

Predoctoral Fellow: $2,000 per year, in addition to the stipend.

No limit on any line item (travel, computer, equipment, etc.).

Must attend a national conference during the term of the award (attendance at AHA Scientific Sessions is strongly encouraged).

International travel is permitted and does not require prior AHA approval.

Postdoctoral Fellow: $3,000 per year, in addition to the stipend.

No limit on any line item (travel, computer, equipment, etc.).

A minimum of $1,500 per year must be spent on travel to a national conference (attendance at AHA Scientific Sessions is strongly encouraged).

International travel is permitted and does not require prior AHA approval.

Supplement Duration: One or two years

Restrictions

An applicant (fellow) may submit only one Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Science application per deadline.

A mentor may be named on only one Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Science application per deadline.

The fellow may hold only one AHA award at a time.

AHA allows supplementation from other sources to meet the sponsoring institution's stipend and benefit levels, however, the trainee may not hold a comparable award (such as another fellowship) as a source of supplementation.

The fellow must resign the award if promoted to a staff or faculty position. See exception above, under Eligibility.

In addition, a mentor may supervise no more than four AHA-funded fellows (predoctoral and/or postdoctoral) and no more than two AHA-supported student fellows (undergraduate and/or medical/graduate students) at any time. This restriction does not apply to co-mentors. Fellows who are part of an AHA Strategically Focused Research Network are excluded.

Required Application Documents

Refer to AHA Application Instructions (PDF) and links below for details.
Mentor:

A new fellow may not have had adequate time to generate preliminary data; therefore, applicants may present preliminary data generated by the mentor. However, submission of an application with identical or significantly similar content as a submission by another investigator is prohibited. Also, submission of an application with identical or significantly similar content in a sponsor's grant and his/her fellow's proposal is prohibited.

Biosketch of Mentor and Co-Mentor, if applicable (5-page limit per mentor)

Training Plan of Mentor (and Co-Mentor, if named) (3 pages total) The trainee's career goals, as stated in "Part A - Personal Statement" of the fellow's biosketch, and the mentor's training plan must be complementary to one another and focus specifically on the individual. A standardized training plan will not be viewed favorably. AHA does not require but strongly encourages the use of Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for AHA training programs. IDPs provide a structure for the identification and achievement of career goals.
Fellow:

Proposed Research Plan (3-page limit)
The fellow and mentor shouldcollaboratively develop a thoughtfully planned, systematic proposal aimed at clearly answering an investigative question in cardiovascular or cerebrovascular research related to the mentor's existing AHA award.

Because the fellow receives only a stipend from the award, additional monetary support for the proposed work MUST come from the mentor's laboratory. Therefore, the proposal will likely be related to the mentor's currently funded work. The mentor should address the relationship of the proposal to ongoing work in their laboratory, and how the proposal will contribute toward the fellow's training and career development.

Biosketch (5-page limit)
In "Part A - Personal Statement", briefly describe why you are well-suited for your role in this project. Relevant factors may include aspects of your training; your previous experimental work on this specific topic or related topics; your technical expertise; and/or your past performance in this or related fields.

Also state your career goals and how conducting this research will facilitate achievement of these goals. AHA does not require career plans to be traditional academic or clinical research work.

In addition, detail how your experiences as an underrepresented individual has shaped your scientific journey. Please also note which underrepresented group listed above you identify with.

Summary for Non-scientists (2500-character limit)
With guidance from the mentor, the fellow should create a Summary for Non-scientists (lay summary). Applications for research funding will be assessed for their potential impact on the AHA Mission, and on the description of the proposal and its potential outcomes to non-scientists.

The AHA recommends that the lay summary be written on a 10th grade level. If your summary is written above the 12th grade comprehension level, your application cannot be submitted. The parts of your summary that would benefit from editing will be highlighted in yellow and red in ProposalCentral. For assistance with editing your summary, you may usehttps://readable.com/text/ or a similar online tool.
Optional Third-Party Personnel:

Biosketch of Co-Mentor(s), if named (up to 5 pages per co-mentor)

No reference reports are required for the Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Science.

Peer Review Criteria

An applicant is prohibited from contacting AHA peer reviewers. This is a form of scientific misconduct and will result in the removal of the application from funding consideration and institutional notification of misconduct.

To judge the merit of the application, reviewers will consider the following criteria. The AHA uses a 1-9 score scale; see AHA guidance for peer reviewers. and AHA Peer Reviewer Guidance.

Criterion 1 - Non-Scientist Summary
Does the Non-Scientist Summary identify how the research supports the AHA mission and impact to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives? Does it describe the proposal at a level the general population can understand?

1. How well does the Non-Scientist Summary explaine to a non-scientist audience the research proposed and its importance?

2. Does the Non-Scientist Summary adequately explain the major health problem being addressed?

3. Does it provide specific questions being addressed by the project?

4. Does it provide information on the overall impact of this work and the potential advances in the field?

5. Does it relay how the proposal supports the mission of the AHA?

Criterion 2 - Evaluation of the Fellow

1. Does the proposed fellow have the potential for a research career?

2. Are the fellow's career plans specified in the application?

3. Is this supported by the fellow's academic record?

4. Does the fellow have prior research experience and/or publications?

5. Is there a clear rationale supporting the need for the proposed training?

6. What is the mentor's assessment of the fellow?

Criterion 3 - Mentor/Training Plan and Environment
Because the fellow receives only a stipend from the award, additional monetary support for the proposed work MUST come from the mentor's laboratory. The mentor should specify the role the applicant played in developing the proposal, the relationship of the proposal to the existing AHA grant to which the supplement applies, and how the proposal will contribute toward the training and career development of the applicant.
Mentor/Training Plan

1. Is the mentor an independent investigator?

2. Does the mentor have the experience to direct the proposed training, as evidenced by a track record regarding productivity, funding, and prior trainees?

3. Does the mentor have adequate current funding to support the trainee's project?

4. Does the mentor demonstrate familiarity with the trainee's career and developmental goals and provide a comprehensive plan that supports the trainee's career goals, which should be outlined in the Personal Statement section of the fellow's biosketch?

5. Is there a plan for instruction in the responsible conduct of research, considering the specific characteristics of the training program, the level of trainee experience, and the particular circumstances of the trainee? The reviewers will evaluate the adequacy of the proposed training in relation to the following: A sufficiently broad selection of subject matter, such as conflict of interest, authorship, data management, human subjects and animal use, laboratory safety, research misconduct, research ethics. The AHA does not require submission of the NIH RCR form.

Environment
As evidenced by the Mentor's Research Project Environment form, does the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of a successful learning experience?

Criterion 4 - Evaluation of the Proposal
This section should provide a summary of the proposed research plan: A thoughtfully planned, systematic proposal aimed at clearly answering an investigative question in cardiovascular or cerebrovascular research. It should be completed in collaboration with the proposed Mentor.

Note: The proposal will be assessed on the scientific merit, but equally as an integral part of the trainee's development into a career aligned with AHA's mission.

A new fellow may not have had adequate time to generate preliminary data and therefore may present preliminary data generated by the mentor. The assessment of preliminary data, whether generated by the mentor or the trainee, should be put into perspective so that bold new ideas and risk taking by beginning investigators are encouraged rather than stymied.

1. Is the Proposed Work appropriate for the fellow, given their academic background, experience, and career interests?

2. Does the proposal contain the right balance of challenge, importance of the research question, and feasibility in relation to the trainee's experience and training?

For all applications that include vertebrate animals or human subjects, applicants must explain how relevant biological variables, such as sex, are factored into the research design, analysis, and reporting. Furthermore, strong justification from the scientific literature, preliminary data, or other relevant considerations, must be provided for applications proposing to study only one sex.

Ethical aspects of the proposed research are to be addressed in the subject use approval documents. Describe any special ethical circumstance or issue of note in the proposed research plan.

Animal subject use documents are to be uploaded into the Research Assurances section of the proposal.

Human subject approval and consent forms are just-in-time documents that are submitted for funded projects prior to award activation.

If the proposed research project involves human subjects, the population sampled shall be inclusive of the general population, of relevance to the scientific question posed, without restriction regarding gender, race, age, and socioeconomic status. Proposals that intentionally restrict the population sampled must inclu de a compelling scientific rationale for such research design as part of the proposed research plan. There is not a separate upload for this explanation; it must be included within the allowable page limit for your proposal.

Mentoring is critical for students of color pursuing a degree in STEM. Mentoring has been reported to be one of the most effective components in improving retention, graduation rates, and success in STEM careers. Additionally, mentors can assist their mentees with building their self-esteem and science identity, expose them to resources and opportunities, and much more. Unfortunately, many students are unaware of the importance of mentoring, how to identify mentors, and maintain meaningful relationships. The purpose of this session is to provide students with tips and strategies that will guide them through the process of identifying mentors that will help them succeed in STEM.

Our second meeting will be Thursday, October 26 at 5:30pm. Location: Danforth University Center, room 242.

Please note hard copies of the books are only provided for current undergraduate and graduate students, however anyone is invited to join our meeting. We will provide access to a physical copy of the book. If you have any questions or concerns, please email aeryel@wustl.edu or e.r.joseph@wustl.edu.

This month's book is True Biz by Sara Novic. Description below:

TRUE BIZ (adj./exclamation; American Sign Language): really, seriously, definitely, real-talk

True biz? The students at the River Valley School for the Deaf just want to hook up, pass their history finals, and have politicians, doctors, and their parents stop telling them what to do with their bodies. This revelatory novel plunges readers into the halls of a residential school for the deaf, where they'll meet Charlie, a rebellious transfer student who's never met another deaf person before; Austin, the school's golden boy, whose world is rocked when his baby sister is born hearing; and February, the headmistress, who is fighting to keep her school open and her marriage intact, but might not be able to do both. As a series of crises both personal and political threaten to unravel each of them, Charlie, Austin, and February find their lives inextricable from one another's—and changed forever.

This is a story of sign language and lip-reading, disability and civil rights, isolation and injustice, first love and loss, and, above all, great persistence, daring, and joy. Absorbing and assured, idiosyncratic and relatable, this is an unforgettable journey into the Deaf community and a universal celebration of human connection.

CONTENT WARNINGS: injury/injury detail, ableism, medical trauma, death of a parent. Others not listed here.

One in four adults in the United States are living with some kind of disability. This diverse community is made up of unique individuals whose knowledge, skills, talents and experiences add important perspective, resourcefulness, and creative energy to our society. Still, people with disabilities are underemployed, overrepresented in health inequities and experience healthcare access barriers. This 90-minute education session will define disability, introduce inclusive practices for language, etiquette and bias management. We will highlight campus resources to help participants begin to think of ways to move from compliance to inclusion within their work environments.

In this 3-part series, we work with the tool of mindfulness to expand our capacity to be present and notice how it supports our work for equity and justice. We move from not only learning about ourselves and the biases we carry to becoming more able to lean into unpleasantness and cultivate compassion. This is the foundational work needed to build the community and connection that will support healing and restoration needed for transformation.

The 3 sessions include: lean into unpleasant, cultivate compassion and moving into action in support of one another and healing, connecting and supporting positive change.

Claudia Garnica-Díaz PhD Student, Botany, The Grace P. John Lab, University of Florida

As a PhD student from South America, Claudia Garnica-Díaz experienced challenges in relocating and beginning a PhD program in another country, especially one outside her native language. To improve the experience for future international PhD students, she designed and held a workshop which included academic strategies, avenues to connect with others (e.g., international social clubs), and basic administration (e.g., how to get a social security number).

She has recruited and mentored 15 undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds including Cuba, Mexico, and Iran to join Dr. Grace John's Lab. She was also recently elected as Vice-President of the University of Florida's chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Native Americans and Chicanos.

Garnica-Díaz has published two papers with international collaborators, one of which included the establishment of an open access database of Andean plant traits and a second review of tropical ultramafic ecosystems from her master's degree research. The work from her master's degree was featured in Forbes Magazine.

Inclusive SciComm Symposium (Metcalf Institute)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Save the date for the next Inclusive SciComm Symposium! In person October 19-21, 2023 in Kingston, RI, USA; additional virtual dates 9/29/23, 10/6/23, 10/13/23, and 11/3/23.
The Symposium aims to convene science communication (SciComm) practitioners, scholars, and educators working across many disciplines, sectors, methods, settings, and topics to discuss practical approaches for advancing inclusive approaches to SciComm and public engagement. The symposium defines SciComm in its broadest sense, as any information exchange designed to engage specific audiences in conversations or activities related to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or medicine (STEMM).

Inclusive SciComm comprises varied perspectives, including community engagement, informal science learning, arts, community organizing, journalism, community-based participatory research, inclusive pedagogy, service learning, library science, and many others. The purpose of the Inclusive SciComm Symposium is to build a community that actively challenges the dominant, frequently marginalizing norms of STEMM and deficit-oriented approaches to communication culture, and promotes science communication that values individual and group assets. Through these transformations, the Inclusive SciComm community will reimagine and change how science is conducted and discussed.

Practical approaches to inclusive SciComm are particularly important given the pandemic, ongoing racism, and structural inequities. These overlapping events and experiences have highlighted the urgent need for action. We need strategies for putting intentionality, reciprocity, and reflexivity - the key traits of inclusive science communication - into practice. Science communication is continually and rapidly changing; therefore, we must be aware of our intent and impact as we communicate, educate, and research.
