One of the goals of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee is to collect information on resources we think can help postdocs, and list that information here. Below are a link to some of the resources, awards, and internal departments and centers that support the mission of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Please let us know if you have additional resources you would like to see listed, or if one of our links is out of date.
We would like to highlight an ongoing effort at UW below.
