SAi Senior Resident and Biomedical Workforce & Policy Research Investigator Dr. Adriana Bankston was recently selected as one of the 2022 Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) Fellows. The ARIS fellows program is designed for professionals, researchers, faculty, educators, graduate students and others working to advance research impact practice. The 2022 class consists of 13 fellows who are working on diverse projects to synthesize existing scholarly work and develop new scholarship to advance knowledge about research impact practices.
For her fellowship, Dr. Bankston’s will work on a collaborative project with Dr. Harinder Singh to develop an educational toolkit for university departments to utilize and create a community of practice around science policy and advocacy based on a certificate program they had previously developed at UC Irvine.

At SAi, Dr. Bankston leads the Bankston Lab which aims to cultivate the next generation workforce in science policy and advocacy through innovative and equitable research studies and training programs for early career researchers from underrepresented backgrounds. The main focus areas for the Bankston Lab are Research & Higher Education, Science Policy & Advocacy, and Workforce Development. Dr. Bankston writes that “the ARIS fellowship will complement the work of the Bankston Lab by providing additional opportunities to trainees who may not traditionally have the necessary resources to learn about science policy and build their skill sets and knowledge base in the field.”
Many congratulations to Dr. Bankston and the rest of the 2022 ARIS Fellows!
