Clinical psychology PhD candidate. NIMH F31 fellow. Using technology to equitably improve access to evidence-based mental health care
Update: my F31 was reinstated - I received the NOA for year 2 today. There is a lot of fighting left to do, but I'm grateful for everyone who has been working to defend diversity in science, and for this opportunity as a trainee to do this work ❤️
Year 2 of my NIMH F31 was supposed to have started yesterday. An award that I was proud to have funded on the first submission (13th percentile), which supported my dissertation research on eating disorders in adolescents, and which funded my tuition, stipend, and health insurance for the past year.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
