Office for Diversity Inclusion and Community PartnershipThe mission of the Office for Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership (DICP) is to advance diversity inclusion in health, biomedical, behavioral, and STEM fields that build individual and institutional capacity to achieve excellence, foster innovation, and ensure equity in health locally, nationally, and globally. The DICP Office aims to ensure that Harvard Medical School truly reflects the community it serves by promoting increased recruitment, retention and advancement of diverse faculty, particularly underrepresented minority faculty, overseeing all diversity activities involving faculty, trainees, students and staff, and coordinating partnerships with community groups and local schools. In addition, DICP’s work includes research and technical assistance that lead to national, regional and local strategies that support workforce diversity and inclusion in the biomedical sciences.
Minority Faculty Development ProgramEstablished in 1990, the DICP Minority Faculty Development Program seeks to: increase the number of faculty at Harvard Medical School from populations underrepresented in medicine; increase the number of minority physicians and scientists who undertake their post-graduate medical education at one of the 18 Harvard Medical School-affiliated institutions; establish model programs for the development of minority faculty with an emphasis on mentoring and leadership; and create programs designed to reach out to the pre-college and college populations with the goal of bringing outstanding underrepresented minority students into the pipeline.
