Kimberly Huyser Awarded ASA Minority Fellowship Through its Minority Fellowship Program, this American Sociological Association Minority Fellowship supports the development and training of sociologists of color in mental health and drug abuse research. The fellowship pays tuition and fees, an annual stipend, and is renewable for up to three years.
The fellowship program is funded by a training grant sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and co-funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA).
Kim's research, supervised by Art Sakamoto, contributes to the understanding of the relationship between mental health and social stratification/inequality of American Indians. She will explore the demographic prevalence of mental disorders of American Indians and the social contexts and individual experiences that contribute to the resiliency of American Indians in terms of their mental health.
Congratulations to Kim for receiving this fellowship!
