Stanford CARE-Summer Research Immersion Opportunity

 

The CARE-SRI Program is an immersive 8-week summer program in Data Science and Vulnerable Populations for undergraduate and graduate students, with a focus in Asian Health. This exceptional program leverages the unique aspects of Stanford’s world-class research, technology, and medical infrastructure to train learners to become superb population science researchers.

The Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education (CARE) is thrilled to announce that applications to our 2021 Summer Research Immersion (CARE-SRI) Program are now open.

Application deadline: February 5th, 2021.

We are looking for a diverse pool of undergraduate and graduate applicants who have strong interest in Asian and public health, in both the sciences and the arts. Prior research is encouraged but NOT required.  We will place students in balanced teams of statistics/computer science and liberal arts, to draw from each other’s strengths during the research process.

Additional information:

Students will carry out two research projects throughout the summer: 1) a large database research focused on precision medicine, and 2) a specific mentored research projects with individual faculty. Most students are predicted to submit 1-2 manuscripts for publication to a peer reviewed journal along with their team members. Program content is the equivalent of three undergraduate classes.

The course content aims to facilitate student career development and professional success. We place extra emphasis on mentorship, wellness, and personal career development to ensure that our students have a fulfilling experience that prepares them for careers as scholars in medicine and research. Our students will build connections with Stanford CARE's global network of thought leaders and professionals, and with each other.
