RWJF Podcast Series - Bringing New Voices and New Perspectives to the Research Agenda
In Bringing New Voices and New Perspectives to the Research Agenda podcast, Jacinta Gauda speaks with Gerri Spilka and Edith Arrington on how the New Connections program supports scholars and researchers from ethnic or racial minority or low-income communities, first-generation college graduates, or others who historically have been underrepresented in health care and health policy. Spilka and Arrington discuss the challenges faced by scholars and researchers from underrepresented groups -- isolation and the lack of access, funding and mentoring support -- and the impact these things can have on researchers #39; careers. They discuss how New Connections provides academics with the support they need to conduct research, publish findings and move up the academic hierarchy. Listeners will hear how New Connections provides funding, mentoring and networking opportunities and high-level recognition awards to scholars. Spilka and Arrington discuss outreach, networking and marketing efforts by the program that have led to the highest number of applicants in the program #39;s history. This podcast highlights the things that academia and philanthropy can do to bring new voices and perspectives to the research agenda.From:RWJFDiversityMattersViews:218 1ratingsTime:23:58More inNonprofits Activism
