Apply now for the 2016 Éxito! Latino Cancer Research Leadership Training program and optional $3,250 internships.
Éxito!, a program of the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, will select 25 master’s-level students and health professionals from across the nation to attend a five-day summer institute June 6-10, 2016, in San Antonio, offering research information, tools, tips, role models and motivation to encourage participants to pursue a doctoral degree and a career studying how cancer affects Latinos differently.
Applicants for the 2016 Éxito! program can also apply for one of 10 internships.
Master’s-degree students or master’s-trained health professionals are encouraged to apply for the training program and internships.
“Éxito! was a boost of confidence and a tremendous encouragement for me to apply to doctoral programs, said Mariana Arevalo, a graduate of the Éxito! program, which is funded by the National Cancer Institute. “Now more than ever, I’m confident that Latino researchers are not only needed in our field, but we can make a difference in improving the health of Latinos.”
