Diversity in Cancer Research Post-Baccalaureate accepting applications for fall 2025

The Diversity in Cancer Research Post-Baccalaureate Program at the University of Arizona Cancer Center offers a paid, two-year, full-time cancer research experience to individuals with a bachelor’s degree who intend to pursue a doctoral degree in biomedical science, a health profession or in population health/public health (e.g., PhD, MD, DO, PharmD, DrPH).

1. Mentored research experiences that teach them to identify and address important questions in the cancer field. Potential mentor projects listed here.
2. Professional development workshops to enhance their competitiveness for doctoral degree programs.
3. Seminars and graduate-level coursework through which they learn about cutting-edge cancer research.
4. Networking activities building their connections to peers and role models in the cancer field.

Applications open now through March 15, 2025.
