The University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine has received the Institutional Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Prize from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
UB is one of 10 universities that received the inaugural $100,000 prize for demonstrating exceptional dedication and innovation in fostering DEIA within research environments. Other winners include Duke University, Vanderbilt University and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
“The prize recognizes transformative cultures, systems, projects and processes that promote inclusive excellence and create environments that advance and value a culture of DEIA,” says Marie Bernard, chief officer of scientific workforce diversity for the NIH.
The competition, which began in April 2023, is co-sponsored by NIH UNITE and the 24 institutes and centers across NIH. This is the first cohort of institutions to receive the prize.
