The Johns Hopkins Initiative for Careers in Science and Medicine: Helping Scholars Overcome Socioeconomic Barriers may receive support through the United Way of Central Maryland (called JH Careers in Science and Medicine: Overcoming Socioeconomic Barriers on the United Way site.

The Careers in Science and Medicine went to the Hill to advocate for the Health Careers Opportunity Program, which supports the CSM and SARE.  DDP Director Deidra Crews, SARE scholar Tori Gillam, DDP scholar Ricardo Perez Dulzaides, SARE Director Doug Robinson, and Kristen Reek of Johns Hopkins Governmental Affairs participated.  We had terrific meetings with the Representative Antony Brown, Suzanne Brown (Representative Elizah Cummings’ office), Ziky Ababiya (Senator Van Hollen’s office), Arnold Solamillos (Senator Cardin’s office), and Tara Oursler (Representative Ruppersberger’s office).  See our photo with Representative Antony Brown in the slider.  Tori and Ricardo were outstanding advocates for HCOP!
