PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This diversity supplement will significantly enhance the research potential of Ms. Zanib Naeem and make her competitive for top-tier PhD programs. Ms. Naeem will be involved in a team project that focuses on the benefits of a ketogenic diet in overweight people with schizophrenia. She will become familiar with an array of tools we use in our studies of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia: structural and functional MRI, neuropsychology, and clinical interviews. She will also participate in the Post-Bac Program for Equity and Learning (PROPEL) curriculum activities, on which the PI (Dr. Ford) serves as a mentor. Through the PROPEL program, Ms. Naeem will both participate in biomedical seminars and have access to career development opportunities, such as grant writing workshops and mock interviews.
