The intent of the UC-HSI DDI grants program is to enhance faculty pathways for domestic historically underrepresented groups (e.g., first generation, socio-economically disadvantaged, foster youth, geographic/regional location, etc.). UC-HSI DDI is designed to support students irrespective of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, or gender identity. For the purposes of this fellowship, AB540 students are eligible. International students are not eligible.
