Please join us for an opportunity to meet selected grantees of the 2024 Anti-Racism Graduate Research Grants. Sponsored by Rackham Graduate School and the Anti-Racism Collaborative at the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID), the grant program supports engagement in research projects focused on racism, racial equity, and racial justice while advancing graduate student progress toward a degree.
In the fourth year of this program, over $94,000 was awarded to 36 students for their research projects. In this hybrid event, attendees will engage with graduate student grantees about their research. Click here to view all the 2024 grantees' project abstracts.
