Eligibility

Students need to be:

• Interested in pursuing graduate studies and a career in health-related research.
• A full-time undergraduate student at É«ÖÐÉ« at the start of the program & have between 1 – 4 semesters remaining before É«ÖÐÉ« graduation as of June.

All qualified applicants are considered, & we strongly encourage applications from students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the health-related research workforce, such as first-generation college students, those with financial need, members of racial/ethnic minority groups, students with a disability, and students who have encountered life experiences or challenges that can contribute to the diverse perspectives needed in health-related research.
