About the Diversity Program Consortium Enhance Diversity Study

The Enhance Diversity Study (EDS), a multi-site, longitudinal evaluation,  was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and led by the Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) at UCLA. The study assessed outcomes from 10 NIH funded BUilding Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) awards which implemented equity-minded programs to develop the research capacity and potential of faculty and undergraduate students while transforming their institutions. The study evaluated programs based on collaboratively developed critical outcomes, called the Hallmarks of Success. BUILD and CEC were part of the NIH Diversity Program Consortium (DPC).
