DNC Speaker Series

Advances in Prevention Science, Diversity, and Inclusion

The DNC presentation series aims to highlight research on prevention science and public health led by researchers from underrepresented groups and primarily conduct research with understudied groups (e.g., racial/ethnic minorities, individuals who identify as sexual minority individuals with disabilities). The presentation series will also aim to create a forum for the guest speaker(s) to share career/professional reflections as a researcher from an underrepresented group(s) and to promote discussions of diversity and inclusion in professions related to prevention science, and public health.
