News & Events

IMSD@Brown is dedicated to diversifying STEM fields and creating an inclusive learning environment for all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender identities, sexual orientation, age or abilities. While some students are selected each year to receive funding through an NIH NIGMS research education grant, the IMSD community is open to all students. We are committed to providing opportunities for both personal and professional development and creating spaces where students feel safe, included, and heard.

If you or any fellow students who would like to participate in community events, we encourage you to reach out to the IMSD@Brown Program ([email protected]) to be included in our email digest of events. Students can also participate as Senior Scholars for IMSD@Brown Training Modules
