The Russell Sage Foundation, in collaboration with the Economic Mobility and Opportunity program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has awarded 18 grants to emerging scholars in the fourth round of the Pipeline Grants Competition. This initiative aims to support early-career scholars who are underrepresented in the social sciences and promote diversity in various aspects.

"Ransford W. Palmer, former chair of the Economics department, renowned scholar and academic leader, passed away at age 90. He established the first Ph.D. program in economics at any HBCU in the US and was a devoted Catholic, leaving a lasting impact on his students, colleagues, and community."

HBCUs play a significant role in higher education by providing opportunities for Black students that may not be available elsewhere, with a higher percentage of Black students and students in financial need. HBCUs address the segregation in higher education and provide access to education for underserved communities.

Black Lives in the Diaspora: Past / Present / Future

Howard Economics Department has taken productive steps to establish new programs and procedures, to create an inclusive environment, and to increase the participation of underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals in their economics communities (including students, department members and leaders, and invited speakers and honorees). And this effort has been recognized by the American Economic Association.
