The Research and Education Core builds on the strong foundation of the research educational and training programs, infrastructure, resources and expertise at Florida A&M University, University of Florida and University of Southern California to offer “hands-on” research internships, exposure to state-of-the- art research technology and academic and career mentorship. The overarching goal of the REC within the CaRE2 Health Center is to increase the number of individuals of undergraduates, post-baccalaureate students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and early-stage investigators (ESIs) who are poised for successful careers as academic scientists focused on reducing cancer differences.
This is a year-long program for candidates with a bachelor’s degree have not yet been admitted to a PhD graduate program or medical school an opportunity to strengthen their applications through cancer research and academic/career opportunities. Mentorship for professional and graduate school application and GRE/MCAT preparation is provided.
This program provides academic career development, mentorship, and tailored cancer research education opportunities that will increase the competitive research capacity of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and ESIs across STEM-related disciplines at FAMU, UF and USC for focused training in cancer differences to augment their existing training (pre- and post-doctoral) training.
If you share our interest in reducing cancer health disparities, please consider becoming a member of the CaRE² center. Investigators, trainees, community leaders, and advocates are welcome.
