Among these, perceived discrimination has emerged as a critical factor that undermines well-being and negatively impacts trainees' sense of belonging, career persistence, and retention. This study examined the association between perceived discrimination and trainees' physical, social, and psychological well-being, as well as their sense of belonging in lab and department settings. Latent profile analysis identified three profiles of trainees based on perceived discrimination: Low Perception of Discrimination (LPD), Mixed Perception of Discrimination (MPD; low in the lab, high in the department), and High Perception of Discrimination (HPD). Results showed that physical and social health were better in the LPD and MPD profiles than in the HPD profile. However, burnout and mental health challenges were greater in both the MPD and HPD profiles compared to the LPD profile. Sense of belonging in the lab was higher for the LPD and MPD profiles, while departmental belonging was significantly lower for the MPD and HPD profiles compared to the LPD profile. These findings highlight the impact of department-based discrimination on mental well-being and belonging. By incorporating additional measures, such as disruptiveness, coping confidence, and perceived reasons for discrimination, this study provides a deeper understanding of how perceived discrimination relates to well-being and highlights the value of latent profile analysis in capturing nuanced patterns and their demographic associations.</p>","PeriodicalId":47180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diversity in Higher Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13245718/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148212951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving access to higher education for people in recovery can benefit the individual, institution, and society at large. This study explored the barriers to college applications and admissions that people in recovery face and the resources that they draw on to overcome these barriers. Semistructured interviews were completed with 17 undergraduate students in recovery at a large public university without a collegiate recovery program. Inductive thematic analysis was used to document students' experiences related to applications and admissions. Participants described barriers to higher education at multiple levels, including personal challenges (e.g., competing priorities), consequences of past use (e.g., a record of criminal legal system involvement), challenges in the social environment (e.g., substance use on campus), complex admission processes (e.g., regarding transfer credits), and stigma (i.e., anticipated, experienced, and internalized). Despite these challenges, students embodied an incredible amount of resolve. Participants were unafraid to ask for help and mobilized the resources available through their social networks. Having role models in recovery, support from faculty and staff, and flexible options for course scheduling were discussed as facilitators to higher education access. Findings highlight policies and practices that institutions of higher education can adopt to capitalize on the strengths of prospective students in recovery and promote equity and inclusivity for this underrepresented student population.</p>","PeriodicalId":47180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diversity in Higher Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"31-42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12802813/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145991363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their long-standing commitment to educating and training Black students, HBCUs face continual financial challenges that often impede their ability to execute the mission and vision of the institution. HBCU faculty are tasked with training and developing the next generation of scientists, and having the resources needed to succeed is paramount. Despite their significant impact, faculty at HBCUs face numerous challenges in obtaining external research funding, especially from federal funding sources. This exploratory qualitative study seeks to identify the facilitators, barriers, and successes encountered by faculty researchers specializing in health disparities and inequities at HBCUs. Additionally, it examines the support provided by institutional administrators to these faculty members in submitting federal grant applications and managing federal awards. We interviewed 25 participants from 16 different HBCUs to understand experiences in the grant submission and management processes. Four overarching themes emerged as key facilitators of success: 1) research support resources; 2) efficient and effective institutional support; 3) consistent mentoring and training; and 4) establishing and maintaining reciprocal relationships. Three themes emerged as barriers to receiving external funding: 1) competing work demands; 2) misalignment of research priorities; and 3) inefficient and ineffective institutional infrastructure. Findings from this study lead to recommendations for facilitating research success for HBCU faculty. HBCUs are uniquely positioned to lead federally funded research studies, especially those addressing health disparities and inequities in historically marginalized communities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47180,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diversity in Higher Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13061298/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147646942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
