Dear LA CaTS Roadmap Scholar Applicants,

NIH has charged institutions to diversify their student and faculty populations to enhance the participation of individuals from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences. We understand the importance of and wish to champion the diversification of the biomedical workforce through the LA CaTS Roadmap Scholar Program.

We are asking each of you to fill out this brief survey so that we can assess our current demographics. The definitions presented below have been defined by NIH at https://diversity.nih.gov/about-us/population-underrepresented.

We appreciate that some of the questions are sensitive in nature, but we urge you to consider providing an answer for each one. It is important that we understand the diversity of our Roadmap Scholar Program Applicants which extends beyond demographic information to economic hardship and disadvantaged backgrounds.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Megan Bronson at mbronson@tulane.edu. We appreciate your help in completing the survey.

The option "" can only be selected by itself. Selecting this option will clear your previous selections for this checkbox field. Are you sure?
