Dr. Anthony James
"I'm excited to participate in the next phase of the Build & Broaden project and meeting new scholars to collaborate with and learn from! Thanks to the project leads for this important work and allowing me to be part of it!"
Dr. Belinda Tucker
"I am extremely pleased and proud to be involved with this extraordinary program that will better develop a new generation of scholars. Having participated in your 2021 NSF Build and Broaden conference, I saw first-hand the enormous value of your efforts and how impactful this kind of support can be for emerging scholars. Sustained outreach and support for research development activities contributes immensely to individual scholarly success but it also transforms disciplines (both in workforce make-up and the broadening of research foci and perspectives). Focusing this initiative on faculty and postdoctoral scholars at minority serving institutions and forging key relationships with successful scholars at research-intensive institutions is a timely and promising strategy."
Dr. Norma Burgess
"This is an exceptional opportunity for the academy and for the inclusion of scholars that were often excluded and overlooked. The initiative should assist greatly with closing the gaps. I am honored to participate."
