Medical School Loan Repayment Program
Despite therapeutic advances, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in California. Regenerative therapies that restore normal function after a heart attack would have an enormous societal and financial impact. Although very promising, regenerative cardiac cell therapy faces a number of challenges and technological hurdles. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) allow […]
Gladstone Summer Scholars (GSS) internship program
Public school classrooms are often strapped for resources, with ill-fitted lab equipment and a lackluster science curriculum, and teachers often struggle to provide interactive science opportunities for their students. Our scientists believe a highly skilled workforce benefits the state of California and that underprivileged students deserve to be part of the exciting field of stem […]
Creativity Award Program in Stem Cell Biology for California High School Students
We propose a CIRM Creativity Award program that builds on our existing summer research program for undergraduate and high school students by offering additional elements tailored to Creativity Award students, including: (a) a lecture series highlighting local young investigators, ethical issues, and future undergraduate educational opportunities, (b) a series on “The Art in Science”, and […]
Internship at a Cutting Edge CIRM-funded Stem Cell Research Facility
The CIRM Creativity Program is a novel internship program for high school students in cutting edge stem cell research facilities. It is a motivating, stimulating and successful program encouraging young people from California to enter the field of stem cell biology and research. We conducted a previous successful summer internship program where motivated and talented […]
UCSF SEP High School Intern Program
With funding from CIRM, 18 high school students from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences will have the opportunity to pursue a summer research project in stem cell biology at a major research university. Students will spend the bulk of their summer conducting research under the guidance of a mentor scientist. In addition, they will meet […]
Research Mentorship Program-Immersing High School Students in College Research
Our institution’s long-standing Research Mentorship Program is a hands-on program for highly motivated high school students interested in participating in academic research in a variety of disciplines. During their six intensive weeks on campus, participants learn to analyze papers and write their own, evaluate research presentations and present their own research in a culminating symposium, […]
CHORI/UC Berkeley Summer Stem Cell Research Internship Program for High School Students
The proposed program is a collaboration between two institutions that collectively represent a range of exciting stem cell research opportunities. The proposed program augments an established summer research program that has been providing biomedical research experiences to high school and college students for 30 years. The objectives of the program are to: 1) Recruit 4 […]
SIMR Program: Stem Cell & Developmental Biology Research Internships
The proposed summer internship will strengthen the future of stem cell research in California by providing California high school students the exciting opportunity to delve into hands-on research in various areas within stem cell biology. Using a one-on-one direct mentorship model, California students will be mentored by graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and Faculty within various […]
Stem Cell Summer Academy: Creating the Next Generation of Scientists
To compete in today’s global, high-tech economy, we are becoming more dependent on workers and leaders prepared in STEM fields. Engaging high school students in STEM disciplines and biomedical research is critical for our future. This proposal seeks funding to expand our high school summer internship program to include ten participants who have a specific […]
CIRM STAR High School Summer Research and Creativity Program
Our CIRM High School Summer Research and Creativity Program will be an 8-week hands-on inquiry based mentored research experience integrated with our existing High School Summer Research Program. Our Summer Research Program for high school students has been in existence for 22 years and has a proven track record of success in mentored scientific research […]
