- NIH T90/R90 Postdoctoral Training Program - The University of Michigan Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center (CPFRC) has openings through its NIH Pain HEAL T90/R90 training program. The CPFRC's portfolio of research spans the translational spectrum from mechanistic research to clinical trials and community engagement with a focus on equity. We are interested in applicants looking for an independent research career in pain science. Fellows are expected to write their own career development award (K award) with support of the program. See the attached document to learn more, including eligibility criteria and contact information.

We apply this framework for Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and White groups and reflect on, compare, and contrast the overarching patterns within and across groups. This work underscores the heterogeneity of structural racism across domains, historical time, and ethnoracial groups, highlighting the necessity of expanding conceptualizations of structural ra

Reflecting on power: the inadequacies of small sample size technique through the lens of indigenous health - In this commentary we describe three distinct, yet related, issues underlying the relationships between statistical power (B) and structural and ideational power related to the “small sample size” problem for Indigenous peoples: (i) inadequate data procurement and management processes, (ii) normative methodological practices, and (iii) insufficient scientific communication.
