Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination
April 17, 2024 - April 18, 2024
Washington Dulles Airport Marriott, Dulles, VA
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is planning a public workshop titled “Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination” on April 17-18, 2024, to convene people from diverse populations living with or at risk for diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases and conditions, as well as researchers and clinicians from across disciplines, to understand the state of the science and identify opportunities for considering common biological pathways underlying the consequences of racism, marginalization, and discrimination across population groups and disease areas. The focus on interdisciplinary research is intended to foster the cross-pollination of ideas and shared learning, as well as to promote consideration of intersectionality across marginalized identities and the multidimensional research framework.
Registration Deadline: April 16, 2024
