    <div class="html-content"><p><strong>Dr. Neha Raikar</strong>, Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering and Dr. Nilanjan Banerjee, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering, received an Hrabowski Innovation Fund, Implementation and Research Award for July 2022 - June 2024. </p>
    <p>These "UMBC Innovation Fellows'' will work on the project entitled, "Feasibility of anonymous grading for reducing performance discrepancies across student demographics." They will study a method to reduce implicit bias in grading through the use of an anonymous grading system. Anonymous grading as hypothesized by the PIs will lead to a reduction of implicit bias during grading. It will promote student success and reduce the perception of biased grading amongst students. </p>
    <p>The goal is to better understand and create an environment where grading is fair and students, especially those from underrepresented groups, feel more comfortable and secure while taking courses. This will lead to a system with more equitable instruction and academic outcomes. </p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about the <strong>Hrabowski Fund for Innovation</strong> at <a href="https://calt.umbc.edu/academic-innovation-competition/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://calt.umbc.edu/academic-innovation-competition/</a></p></div>
