Today’s alumna feature is: Antoinette Charles, a Today’s alumna feature is: Antoinette Charles, a GSU NRP Scholar & Alumna National Institute of Mental Health IRTA Fellow | Gates Millennium Scholar | Georgia State University Alumna A message from Antoinette: “I am proud to announce that I have been selected as one of the 2019-2020 National Institute of Health (NIH) Academy Fellows. In addition to my post-baccalaureate research fellowship in the National Institute of Mental Health, participating as an Academy Fellow will cultivate my intellectual curiosity on factors that relate to health disparities and what is currently being done to address the gaps. The workshops, career panels, and diversity retreat will provide the opportunity to learn how to serve as an effective advocate in mitigating injustices within medicine directly from health scientists. Most importantly, I have the chance to work with experts to design and implement a yearlong community outreach project. I look forward to developing a project geared towards addressing the mental health disparity within the African American community. The NIH Academy Fellowship aligns with my career aspirations of becoming a clinician-scientist with a health disparities research focus." Join Nu Rho Psi in congratulating her many achievements & in being such an exemplary NRP scholar 👏 #nurhopsi #nurhopsiatgsu #neuroscience #georgiastateuniversity #nih #stem #stemresearch #mentalhealth #blackwomenlead #blackwomeninstem
