Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is committed to a culture of inclusive excellence and recognizes that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) are fundamental building blocks to optimize health for all.

We respect and affirm the inherent value of every person as we strive for a diverse, inclusive and culturally-responsive scientific workforce directed toward the goal of health equity. Our aim is that every study, educational and training program and resource supported by the CTSI explicitly addresses equity in its development, implementation and dissemination. We remain diligent and intentional in our unified efforts to dismantle structural racism, implicit and explicit biases and inequities so that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health.

 

Our DEIA plan demonstrates this CTSI commitment through efforts in four areas: Leadership and Culture, Assessment and Evaluation, Inclusive Research and Workforce Development.
