John Anthony Fuller  (he/him) is a Centennial Scholar, a George W. Woodruff Fellow, and a doctoral  student in the Laney Graduate School at Emory University, in addition to a  Building Research Inclusion and Diversity in Graduate Education (BRIDGE)  Scholar in the Department of Population Health Sciences at Duke  University.  Originally from Akron,  OH, John is an alumnus of The Ohio State University, where he earned his B.S.  in Human Development and Family Science, magna cum laude, with honors  research distinction, a minor in Global Public Health, and a certificate in  Health Communication. Daring to end  health disparities and achieve health equity for all, John's interdisciplinary  research training is informed by his interests in examining how social  determinants of health influence population health outcomes for Black LGBTQ+  cancer survivors. John has completed rigorous undergraduate research in  cancer health equity, sexual and gender minority health disparities, and  community-engaged methodology.  John's high-impact, award-winning scholarship is nationally  recognized. His research has been supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)  and the National LGBT Cancer Network, among others. John is a professional  speaker with numerous authored and co-authored abstracts.  Most recently, John completed the Cancer  Prevention Research Training Program at The University of Texas MD Anderson  Cancer Center. Additionally, he assisted with developing and writing an  NCI-funded grant titled "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)  Data Collection Program Implementation and Evaluation" while at The Ohio  State University. Outside of  research, John is highly involved in undergraduate teaching, student  advocacy, and mentoring/volunteering. John's intention in all his capacities  is to create structural and transformational change for people with  marginalized identities.
