Abby Dumes was one of six teams selected for a disability-related research project funding award through the Office of the Provost’s Disability Scholarship Initiative.
The Office of the Provost’s Disability Scholarship Initiative is a funding opportunity that seeks to “strengthen the institutional commitment to an inclusive and accessible campus, and embraces a broad definition of disability” and is a part of the Vision 2034 pillars of Human Health and Well-Being and Life-Changing Education.
Abigail Dumes, Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies and Associate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, has been accepted to the Catalyst Program as a part of this Scholarship Initiative. Alongside Elizabeth King, Associate Professor in the School of Public Health, the project–titled Long COVID, disability, & work: Exploring the lived experience of University of Michigan faculty and staff on the Ann Arbor Campus–hopes to “provide opportunities to improve and make more equitable workplace accommodations.” Projects in the Catalyst Program are anticipated to start this year.
