The Science of Speech: Ph.D. Student Helen Dominic Researches Improvements in Ways We Handle Immigrant Care

For patients who are not fluent in English, language barriers can cause miscommunication between the patient and their medical team, even when a third party interpreter is present. At best, the patient may feel as though they do not have autonomy, at worst, they may not receive the best medical care. Graduate linguistics student Helen Dominic is examining the power that listening can have on healing that will improve health care for immigrants by utilizing narrative medical practices.

Graduate Research Cooperative

The Graduate Research Cooperative (GRC) is an initiative of the University of Chicago Office of Science, Innovation, National Laboratories, and Global Initiatives that coordinates and administers projects that involve UChicago graduate students performing PhD thesis research on site at a National Laboratory in National Laboratory-funded programs. The GRC ensures that each project meets program requirements and manages all financial transactions related to student support. The GRC meets these objectives by requiring that every graduate student engaged in the GRC apply for the appropriate program and be approved by the GRC Director.

The GRC, which launched as a pilot phase in October 2019, currently places Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) graduate students at Argonne National Laboratory . The GRC was conceived as part of the Joint Task Force Initiative (JTFI), which brings UChicago resources to bear in helping Argonne and Fermilab achieve mission success. The GRC eventually will expand to include other University academic departments and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Interested in conducting research with an Argonne scientist? View a list of current Argonne scientists who are approved to work with UChicago students through GRC.

The GRC is led by Paul Nealey , the GRC Faculty Director and Dougan Professor in Molecular Engineering.

GRC oversight is provided by an Executive Committee composed of UChicago and Argonne senior leadership.

Learn more about the pilot phase.

How it Works

Graduate students participating in the GRC participate in one of two programs. The PhD Research In-Residence Program is for new PhD students who express an interest in conducting the research-centric portion of their program at Argonne National Laboratory for the duration of their graduate career. The Collaborative Research In-Residence Program is for current PhD students who express an interest in continuing the research-centric portion of their program at Argonne National Laboratory.

All students participating in the GRC are part of teams consisting of the PhD student, an Argonne National Laboratory PI who will serve as the Primary Research Advisor, and a Primary Academic Advisor. The Primary Academic Advisor will be a UChicago faculty member from the academic unit of the Graduate Student and will at all times have primary responsibility for the GRC student’s academic progress. The Primary Academic Advisor will serve on all committees related to candidacy and thesis defense and meet with the Graduate Student periodically to assure their well-being.

How to Participate

Argonne National Laboratory scientists seeking entry into the GRC should request PME affiliation by submitting an application package via email to Paul Nealey ( [email protected] ) .

Elements of the application should include:

• Rationale for seeking unit affiliation;
• Description of proposed research to be undertaken;
• UChicago Unit(s) where collaborations currently exist or seeking to be established;
• Current CV;
• Record of Advising Form ;
• Two letters from previous postdocs/students;
• Letter of recommendation from cognizant supervisor of home institution; and
• Long-term financial plan for how GRC Students will be supported in the PI’s laboratory

Graduate students seeking entry into one of the GRC programs should consult the Office of Student Affairs within the PME for information on the process and documentation required for participation.

Vanderbilt University may submit one Letter of Inquiry as lead institution to the 2024 Creating Equitable Pathways to STEM Graduate Education program from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The Higher Education Program at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is continuing its investment in Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and in the establishment of partnerships between MSIs and graduate programs at other colleges and universities. Sloan’s Creating Equitable Pathways to STEM Graduate Education grants will engage the expertise of MSIs—and the unique experiences of their faculty and students—to model effective systems and practices that remove barriers and create opportunities for equitable learning environments in STEM graduate education so all students can thrive. Grant awards will support sharing MSIs’ institutional know-how on equitable undergraduate and graduate education, as well as modeling that know-how to create systemic changes that enhance pathways from MSIs to master’s and doctoral degree programs in astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, data science, Earth sciences, economics, engineering, marine science, mathematics, physics and statistics at partner institutions.

Awards will also open pathways to students and faculty at partnering institutions to learn at and from MSIs and collaborate on systemic changes that have the potential for even broader impacts. While Equitable Pathways grants will directly fund activities that eliminate barriers to pathways between MSIs and their partnering institutions, Sloan is particularly interested in supporting partners that are committed to widening pathways to master’s and doctoral degree programs in the covered fields for students from MSIs and from other colleges and universities that currently have weak, if any, pathways to STEM graduate education.

The foundation thus invites letters of inquiry (LOIs) for both new and the continuation of previously Sloan-funded projects that seek to dismantle systemic barriers and create sustainable MSI pathways to graduate education in the stated disciplines. Compelling LOIs will result in the invitation of a full proposal. 

Proposed projects may take multiple forms, including, for example, planning activities on MSI campuses that set the stage for new pathways between MSIs and graduate programs at partner institutions, which may be other MSIs or institutions with graduate programs in the covered STEM fields. Another example could be projects that establish or scale existing, mutually beneficial partnerships between undergraduate and graduate programs at two or more institutions.

In addition to establishing seamless pathways, projects need to address policies, processes, and practices that reinforce existing systems that are barriers to student access and success in graduate education. These projects could include efforts to examine or redesign graduate recruitment, admission policies and processes, mentoring practices, departmental climate, or other gatekeeping (or gateway) structures to and through STEM graduate education. Since the barriers to equitable pathways do not end once students are admitted to graduate programs, the Foundation is looking for evidence that projects will promote and enhance existing efforts to reduce and eliminate policies, procedures, and institutional climates and cultures that prevent students from successfully attaining a graduate degree.

All projects must have at least one MSI partner . When two or more institutions are the proposed grantees, it is preferred that the primary PI be housed at the MSI to create a direct connection between MSI expertise and project leadership.

Three types of grants will be funded:

• Planning grants to support two or more institutions to conduct internal reviews of existing barriers to student success and for analysis and planning for future partnership(s) (up to $75,000 for up to 1 year);
• Seed grants to two or more institutions that seek to formalize an existing partnership(s) and launch one or more pilot initiatives (up to $250,000 over 1-2 years); and
• Implementation grants to two or more institutions that allow for the augmentation or scaling of existing partnerships/collaborations (up to $500,000 over 2-3 years).

Eligibility

Lead investigators from submitting and partner institutions should be at the full, associate, or assistant professor level, a department chair, or in an administrative role with high connectivity to academic positions. Such individuals should come from nonprofit two- or four-year institutions, or organizations that serve higher education professionals or institutions.

The selected nominee will submit the LOI to the sponsor by July 1, 2024 . If invited by the Sloan Foundation to submit a full proposal, the due date will be October 4, 2024.
