Of the thousands of eligible parent grants across the UC system, the number of successfully awarded supplements remain in the double digits. Since local is global, we aim to increase the submission of NIH Diversity supplements for all disciplines across UCs.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">UCGHI will complement existing efforts to increase successful submissions of these diversity supplements by collaborating with SF BUILD and UCI BUILD.
