We offer the following services for the UCSF research community – both UCSF research teams engaging community partners in their work, and community members partnering with UCSF researchers. We offer consultation about both Anti-Racism research – research conducted with the aim of understanding, interrogating, and dismantling racism in health, science, and society – and Anti-Racist research – how to address racism that is embedded in our research processes.
Anti-Racism should be embedded at all stages of the research process, from conception, design, implementation, and dissemination of results. Anti-racism can also be a powerful tool in all kinds of research: qualitative, quantitative, clinical and lab sciences.
A list of some of the ways in which the Anti-Racism consultation service can assist in your research are listed below. At least the first hour of the consultation is supported by CTSI. Contact us now!

Our consultations can take shape in many ways:
CONSULTATIONS
We can offer hour-long consultations on discrete questions like: identifying an anti-racism theory or methodology; identifying funding sources; developing a dissemination strategy; preparing for an internal grant submission.
COACHING
If more extensive involvement is desired, we can offer ongoing support for research teams interested in building the capacity to do anti-racism research, often over a series of 4-6 meetings, usually focused on the development of the research.
TRAINING AND RESOURCES:
We are developing a curriculum on anti-racism. We can give presentations to your lab, research group, department, or other organization. Coming soon: online guides and information.
