Truc Do, a rising second-year PhD student in the Developmental Science program, has been awarded a Health Tech for the People (HT4P) Graduate Fellowship on Ethics of Health Technology. Funded by the IALS/CPHM, the purpose of the HT4P graduate fellowship is to encourage graduate students to integrate considerations of ethics of technology and accountable, human-centered design, evaluation and translation of health monitoring technologies for the public interest into their program of research with mentorship support and community engagement.
Do was also selected as a scholar for the 2024 cohort of the Towards 2044: Horowitz Early Career Scholar Program of the Society for Research in Child Development.
The Towards 2044: Horowitz Early Career Scholar Program takes its name from the year when the adult population of the United States is estimated to become a diverse majority. The program will provide educational and professional development for scholars from underrepresented groups, giving them a launching point for a career in the field of child development with the guidance and mentorship from more advanced scholars.
The selected scholars and mentors will meet in Washington, DC to kickstart the program, and then participate in a series of monthly virtual seminars and one-on-one mentor/mentee meetings through December 2024. These experiences will enable the rising scholars to gain valuable exposure to the field and allow them to network not only with their mentors, but also with other scholars and professionals.
