HSER faculty member named DREAM Associate

Congratulations to Brandi White, PhD, MPH, assistant professor in health sciences, education, and research, who was named a 2018 Disparities Researchers Equalizing Access for Minorities (DREAM) Associate. The program launches this month and will support the training of exceptional underrepresented minority pre-docs, postdocs and junior faculty who are committed to health equity research. White is one of five scholars and five associates selected from the competitive application process.

The Dream Scholars Program will provide access to solid foundation in career development and core human subject's research, with an emphasis on health equity research methods (e.g. Community based participatory research, Dissemination and Implementation). The duration of the program is 2 years.

Dream Scholars and Associates will be required to participate in twice monthly 1.5 hour meetings that will be comprised of research and career development seminars and opportunities to present chalk talks and works in progress. Scholars will be expected to produce scholarly products, such as abstracts, manuscripts and grant submissions. Scholars and Associates will attend an annual 2-day writing retreat.
