The Urban Institute will host a virtual convening highlighting the One Million Black Women Research Partnership funded by Goldman Sachs. This partnership aims to distill new insights and build synergy around actions and investments that policymakers, funders, and corporate leaders can make to close the racial earnings and wealth gaps for Black women. 

This virtual convening will bring together researchers, funders, corporate partners, economic and community development experts, and others to discuss findings and recommendations to close the racial wealth gap. Our inaugural cohort of HBCU Scholars will present their research, and there will be dedicated space for participants to engage with each other to discuss the investments, policies, and approaches that improve Black women’s financial and economic condition and begin to close the racial wealth gap. We hope this conversation informs future action and creates opportunities for collaboration among participants and attendees. 

We also welcome those who might be interested in participating in the second cohort of the One Million Black Women Research Partnership to apply. The application will open on January 13, 2023, and the second cohort will take place from April to December 2023. We will update this page when more information becomes available.
