University of California, Davis was one of only 10 universities in the U.S. to recently be recognized with an Institutional Excellence in DEIA in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Prize Competition from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The acknowledgement, which comes with a $100,000 prize, was awarded to a select few post-secondary institutions for “implementing strategies to enhance DEIA in research environments.”

Seven faculty members from two important programs within the Office of Academic Diversity —a unit with the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — were among the 12 UC Davis scholars to be named in this year’s class of Hellman Fellows.
