Please join us in congratulating Sharanya Rao on winning the APA Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity Malyon Smith Scholarship Award! The award will support Sharanya's dissertation research, which is a qualitative study entitled Healthcare experiences of sexual minority women of color: Understanding stigma, satisfaction, and sequelae.

Congratulations Sharanya!!!!

Applied Social Psychology faculty member/DC CFAR Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Core Director Dr. Lisa Bowleg (GW) and Sr. Scientist Dr. Deanna Kerrigan (GW) received a new T32 award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) entitled "Training Program in Approaches to Address Social-Structural Factors Related to HIV Intersectionally (TASHI)."

The investigators seek to prepare the next generation of community-engaged researchers using a predoctoral training program to study social determinants to promote health equity and end the HIV epidemic. This project joins faculty from multiple GW departments and schools with the goal to create "a rigorous program of coursework including a solid foundation in critical theoretical frameworks (e.g., critical race theory, intersectionality), multiple research methodologies (e.g., Community-Based Participatory Research, mixed methods), and social-structural and multi-level intervention development and evaluation."

Congrats to both!

Congratulations to doctoral candidate Riko Boone and colleagues on the recent publication titled "Representation in research: A review of diversity within HIV cure studies based in the United States" in the journal of AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses!
