University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine recipient of diversity award
An award for fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in dental care was given to educators at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.
The school received the Institutional Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Prize from the National Institutes of Health.
“I am extremely proud, though not surprised, that UB was included among this year’s impressive group of recipients,” said Marcelo Araujo, D.D.S., Ph.D., dean of UB’s dental school. “Through ongoing, vibrant initiatives, the dental school is doing its part to make the oral health field more diverse. We are committed to opening up opportunities to underrepresented minorities, serving individuals with disabilities, and hiring more faculty from a range of backgrounds and cultures.”
The inaugural $100,000 prize was awarded to 10 universities throughout the U.S.
