About the Newsletter

The NIH Diversity Program Consortium (DPC) Newsletter provides updates on activities at all the DPC sites, shares progress on collaborative efforts within the consortium, and highlights news and recent publications related to diversity and mentoring in the biomedical sciences.

Included in the newsletter are updates and information about the three DPC initiatives: Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD), the National Research Monitoring Network (NRMN), and the Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC). Individuals from these grantee sites submit the majority of newsletter articles, in which they highlight unique aspects of their initiatives, including trainee and faculty success stories, workshops, updates on research programs and new publications.

The DPC Communications Working Group edits and publishes the newsletter on a quarterly schedule. There are occasional special editions focused on major consortium events or outreach campaigns.

The newsletter is divided into four sections:

The form is broken up into 3 sections:

  1. Email Content
  2. Individual Article Content
  3. Administrative Information
Email Content

The email content section is what will be sent out in the email and will be displayed on front page of the newsletter. It has three elements.

Article Title: The title of your article - this will also appear in the body of your posting. See individual article content section.

Summary: This is a brief synopsis of your main article content. Here is where you want to effectively summarize your article and hook your audience’s attention.

Photo: You can attract even more attention to your article in the email and on the front page by attaching a photo. Please note the following:

  • Please only upload a .jpg.
  • Images should not be wider than 300px or taller than 150px (Images that do not meet these criteria will manually be resized before publication).
  • This image will not appear in the main body posting. You will have to upload it either into file storage and link on the site or add directly to the article. Please see the section on photos for additional information about photo manipulation.
Individual Article Content

This section creates a stand-alone page that is separate from the email and the newsletter front page. The email and the newsletter will have a dynamic link generated that will point to this section. There are 4 elements (1 generated from the email content section).

Title: Created from the content you inputted in the email content section.

Text of your article:

This is where you can upload your article. It is important that you add content here. If you have a pdf or word document. Please recreate the pdf or word document in this area. You want to have your audience be able to see your content immediately without additional clicks.

We recommend adding a “Submitted by” section either to the top or the bottom of your posting.

Notes:

Photos - while the editor allows you to drag and drop photos directly into the editor: we highly recommend that you upload any photos into file storage and add them via the photo icon. This allows you to better update the source code to add margins to your photo.

Additionally, please note that this is a responsive website. We automatically add classes to your photos that will resize your photos based on the size of the screen that is viewing the content of the site. This might be why your photo may appear smaller at the time of publication.

Please view our section on photos for advanced tips on adding photos.

Contact email:

This is an optional field; however, we recommend adding a contact email for any followups.

PDF

You can attach a pdf to supplement your article posting. Please keep this under 5mb.

Administrative Information

This section helps us determine which edition this article should be released in and to which section.

Release and Expiration Date:

It is assumed that the release date will be the third Tuesday of the month and the expiration date will be the third Monday of the following month. If you want your posting to be released in the following addition, then adjust these fields accordingly.

Where will this be posted?

You can select where you intend to post this article in the newsletter. Please note that the DPC editors will modify this selection based on the criteria found on the “Why a Newsletter?” page.

  1. Navigate to your file storage instance.
  2. Select the folder for the current year.
  3. Select the folder for the current month. 
  4. (optional) - you can create your own folder within the year/month directory for organization purposes
  5. Use the user interface to add your file or image to file storage.

Adding an image

  1. Upload your image to your file storage instance.
  2. Save the url to the image.
    1. Hover over the name of the file and right click to save the url location.
  3. Go to the page you want to add your image to and click to edit it.
  4. Move the cursor in the editor to the place you want to add your image.
  5. Click on the image icon image add preview icon
  6. Copy the image url into the provided spot.
  7. Click ok.

Adding a document

  1. Upload your image to your file storage instance.
  2. Save the url to the document.
  3. Go to the page you want to add your document to and click to edit it.
  4. Highlight the text you want to
  5. Click on the link icon link add preview icon
  6. Copy the document url into the provide spot
  7. Click ok.

Although the system allows you to directly upload a photo into the text field, we highly recommend that you utilize the file storage option. This has many benefits. Uploading to the text field will convert your image to a base64 format which will consume a lot of resources. This can slow down the browser from rendering your posting if you need to edit in the future.

If you run into difficulties using this guide, it is ok to upload directly into the text field. We will move your file from the text field and into file storage before publication.

As an newsletter submitter, you have access to the file storage.

You can access it here https://www.diversityprogramconsortium.org/newsletter/files/.

As a best practice please upload your file to the folder for the month that you are submitting your newsletter for.

Please refer the section on how to upload images and files into file storage.

Once your document or image is uploaded, you can grab the custom link for the content for placing into your submission.

A basic primer on inserting images into a html field.

Images are handled similarly to links. A simple html tag (img) is referenced with the location of where the image is located included. Your basic image reference will look like this <img src=“...” />

Steps to include an image in our editor are as follows.

  1. Upload to file storage
  2. Obtain custom link to image (recommend opening a second tab)
  3. Click on image icon in editor toolbar
  4. Paste custom link in that area

If you need to move your image, we recommend either dragging the embedded image or using the source icon to directly edit the html.

Hello, world!

If dialectic neocapitalist theory holds, we have to choose between pretextual narrative and Sartreist absurdity. It could be said that the subject is interpolated into a semioticist capitalism that includes narrativity as a paradox.
