College Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Dawg Tank Competition

The Mary Frances Early College of Education’s Office of Research and Graduate Education and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will sponsor a research competition for graduate students. Modeled after the popular television show Shark Tank, this research design competition offers graduate students across the College interested in diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice some funding for their research ideas.

Graduate students are invited to submit a letter of interest outlining their initial proposal by Monday, April 10. The proposed research must focus on the experiences of (an) underrepresented group and/or international populations with cultural constructs and/or theoretical frameworks. The competition is offering up to $800 for awards and will reward the top proposals/presentations with varying amounts depending on the presented needs and scientific rigor.

You can find more information about the competition in the competition call and submit proposals via the proposal submission form.
