The DEI Taskforce has long lamented that there are nearly no methods for students to report incidents of discrimination while retaining control over the disclosure of their identity and the direction taken after the report is made. Today, we are excited to announce the debut of our independent incident report form, which is designed to prioritize, protect, and empower trainees. Please see our Report An Incident page for more information and a link to the form!

OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
Change the University of Michigan’s biomedical research institutional culture to be more equitable and inclusive by cultivating knowledge amongst graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, research staff and technicians, office staff, and administration.
We aim to serve as both a resource for members of our community interested in learning and as a platform for other students looking to run diversity events of their own. At our core, we are advocates for biomedical research trainees.
