Domingo Moronta, Public Health Alum, receives prestigious fellowship at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Domingo MorontaDomingo Moronta, a public health alum who graduated this past May, just received the a scholarship from the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning and Duquesne University.  OMG, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, have teamed up to launch the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Evaluation Fellows program. The program aims to build diversity in the evaluation field by providing enriching work experiences and training in program evaluation to emerging professionals from groups historically underrepresented in the research disciplines.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Evaluation Fellows Program is designed to diversify the evaluation field by providing individuals from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities with the necessary skills and training to become program evaluators.

The Evaluation Fellows program invites interested organizations to host emerging professionals in a one-year, full-time fellowship. Individuals from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities include ethnic or racial minorities, those from low-income communities, first-generation college graduates, or others who have been historically underrepresented in the program evaluation field. The program's ultimate goal is to infuse the program evaluation field with well-trained individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to meet the increasing diversity of programs and communities that the profession serves.

Congratulations, Domingo!
