Part of the : SEA Change Biomedicine Learning Series
Panelists include Dr. Paula Braveman, Dr. Jenna Lester, and Prof. Ruqaiijah Yearby.
The terms health equity, health disparities, health inequities, and health justice are increasingly used in fields of health and medicine and more broadly. In this session, panelists will discuss the meanings and uses of these terms in general and in specific contexts, and why they matter.
Dr. Braveman will consider the meanings of health equity, Dr. Lester will share her experiences with diversifying dermatology in the context of dermatological disparities, and Prof. Yearby will explain how addressing health inequities is related to health justice. Together, they will explore the necessity of impacted communities leading the creation, implementation, and evaluation of interventions aimed at addressing structural racism and achieving healthier, more just communities.
We will reserve plenty of time for audience Q&A; feel free to submit questions for the panelists in advance via the registration page. You do not need to have completed the learning series to attend the panel discussions.
Each panel discussion will be recorded and added to the learning series for future viewing.

Registration is now open for the KY INBRE R15/R16 Virtual Grant Writing Workshop
KY INBRE will again offer an intensive workshop on the development of NIH R15-Research Enhancement Award (REA) and R16-Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) proposals on Sat, Oct 19. Both programs have similar goals of supporting meritorious research, exposing undergrad students to research, and enhancing the research environment of the institution.
Institutions eligible for the R15 program must not have received more than $6 million in NIH funding in four of the past seven years.
The R16 program also targets institutions which have received limited NIH funding, but also serve an economically disadvantaged and/or minority student population.
Nearly all primarily undergrad institutions in Kentucky are eligible for these awards.
This all day workshop will cover all aspects of writing a successful NIH proposal. Faculty with little or no experience in writing R15 or R16 NIH proposals should plan to participate in all sessions. Whereas, those with prior NIH grant writing experience may choose to participate in only the more advanced sessions.
The workshop will be conducted via Zoom and is free and open to interested faculty at all Kentucky public and private institutions.
