Due to overwhelming interest and high-quality applications, the Office of the Vice President for Research awarded more than $1 million.
Individual grants averaged $15,000. Project topics include studies of racial disparities in medical care, assessing artificial intelligence biases in handling large legal databases, and pursuing racial equity in philanthropy, education and more.
