Our senior undergraduate assistant, Ian, has been recognized with a grant to fund his research! The funding is awarded by Psi Chi, the international honor society for psychology students. Ian was awarded the Mamie Phipps Clark Research Grant, which provides funds for projects focused on diversity issues. Ian's proposal, entitled “Intersectional Discrimination and Alcohol Use among LGBTQ+ People of Color” was not only funded, but scored in the top 11 of applications overall.

Great work Ian!

The PRISM lab recently attended the 2019 Indiana Psychological Association Fall Conference & Annual Meeting in Indianapolis at IUPUI. Graduate and undergraduate students had the chance to present their research from this semester. Take a look!

This month, the PRISM lab’s first graduate student started her pre-doctoral internship at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Devin Banks successfully matched to the Charleston Consortium at MUSC in February and started on August 1st. We were sad to see her go but are excited to see what she does next! Join us in wishing her well.

This summer, members of the PRISM lab attended and presented at two national research conferences: meetings of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence and the Research Society on Alcoholism. Dr. Zapolski’s current graduate students presented on their work examining the etiology of alcohol and drug use at both conferences. Take a look at the conference pictures!
