Declarations

:

: Approval was obtained from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (# 20-3724) and Auburn University (#22–419 EX 2209) Institutional Review (IRB) Boards. The study adhered to and is in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Two cohorts of BIPOC women faculty at the Assistant and Associate Professor levels (including tenure-track and research/clinical-track faculty) were recruited to participate in the program on a voluntary, first-come, first-served basis from Schools of 30 Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at predominately white institutions (PWIs) from across the United States. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Marketing and Communications team assisted with disseminating IRB-approved recruitment materials directly to Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology via online platforms. A webpage microsite was developed to facilitate online registration for the program. Interested faculty were invited to register for the program online. There were two cohorts of participants that participated in the two-year study. Year one start date was February 2021 and the end date was November 2021 for cohort 1. The second year consisted of two cohorts (cohorts 1 and 2) with a start date of January 2022 and end date of November 2022. Participants provided informed consent prior to completing the voluntary confidential well-being assessments through QualtricsXM.
