Meet The Directors
Drs. Sulare Telford Rose and Jennifer Rae Myers know firsthand the many barriers that limit direct research training opportunities, particularly regarding multicultural issues. The lack of opportunities as Master-level graduate students, in part, inspired them to address this critical gap as a means to better prepare graduate students from culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) backgrounds regarding research in multicultural issues. Through research mentorship they hope to increase interest in research among historically underrepresented students and improve training in the area of multicultural clinical research.
