  • Cohort II Scholars

    In the partnership’s second year, we invited faculty and researchers from accredited Historically Black Colleges or Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions, researchers of color at Predominantly White Institutions, and scholars of color at policy and research centers who are researching the racial wealth gap to apply. The selected scholars developed new products addressing the persistent racial gaps that Black women experiences across housing, financial health, access to capital, health care, and job creation and workforce advancement. The research products developed by this cohort can be found on each of the scholars’ author page, below.
