DOCC is a professional learning program that prepares participants to engage in grant development which authentically considers issues around how diversity, equity and inclusion integrate into research.
DOCC trains participants to approach NSF grant development through the lens of their respective institution and how to integrate the strengths of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Tier 1 Research Institutions (R1s) into novel NSF proposals.
We will be sharing participant bios every week and sharing updates of the in-person IDEAS Lab August 2-4 at CSUMB. This workshop is the final step of the participant’s training.
See https://csumb.edu/cme/docc/ for more information.
