Faculty Collective

RIMI Faculty Collective: The majority of faculty members involved in the RIMI program are early investigators having received their doctorates within the past 10 years. One of the primary goals of our RIMI program is to attract new faculty of color who are interested in health disparities research. Our intention is to build an interdisciplinary group of faculty, students, and activists who will work together to identify ways of addressing health disparities in the Los Angeles region.
