The Society for Epidemiologic Research has announced the establishment of the Sherman A. James Diverse and Inclusive Epidemiology Award. The award will recognize research, teaching, or service by an individual that expands the scope of the field to underrepresented or disadvantaged populations or researchers and that has facilitated greater diversity and inclusiveness. Before joining the faculty at Duke University, Dr. James taught epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at the University of Michigan.
