Please join us for an opportunity to meet selected grantees of the 2021 Anti-Racism Summer Research Grants for Graduate Students. Sponsored by Rackham Graduate School and the Anti-Racism Collaborative at the National Center for Institutional Diversity, the grant program supports engagement in research projects focused on racism, racial equity, and racial justice while advancing graduate student progress toward degree.
In the inaugural year, nearly $100,000 was awarded to 21 students from across the 19 schools and colleges for their research projects. In this virtual event, attendees will engage with graduate student grantees about their research in moderated breakout sessions. Click here to view all the 2021 grantees' project abstracts.
