Image: The Diversity Research and Scholarship Grant program is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost, the Office of Research and the Office of Institutional Diversity. A total of 28 scholars working in a wide range of fields, including anthropology, biology, education, English, geography, veterinary medicine and many others, were awarded grants. The allotted funding was increased from $40,000 to $65,000 based on the number and quality of submissions.
