Table 1 Key Features of SF BUILD Activities
Conducting Stereotype Threat (ST) Resilience Workshops & Trainings | |
● ST is explained and participants identify how it occurs in their own lives. ● ST impacts are described utilizing current research and examples are provided of how to turn ST into a challenge. ● Strategies are developed and shared on how to reduce ST in the classroom and research environment. | |
Creating a “Giving Back” Emphasis in Biomedical Sciences | |
● Opportunities are given to share knowledge with others (through mentorship, instruction, collaboration). ● Personal and lived experiences are welcomed in classrooms and research environments and inform research questions relevant to diverse communities. ● There is intentional building of institutional commitment to support and value community-engaged research. | |
Institutionalizing SF State and UCSF Collaborations | |
● Providing programs, space and resources for cross-institutional research to occur in SAFE environment (e.g., SF BUIILD Scholars program and SOULa). ● Supporting classroom shifts that reduce ST and increase “giving back” curriculum. ● Hosting ST Resilience workshops, mentor training, and cross-institutional working groups to support SF State and UCSF faculty collaborations in grant making, scientific writing and creating affirming environments for professional development. |
