The Research and Creative Projects for Equity and Justice initiative, funded by Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation (HSU SPF) & the HSU Foundation, supports research and scholarship that benefits historically marginalized communities served by Humboldt State University, with a focus on black, indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC).
