Supporting undergraduate student research in Hope Center member labs
About
The Hope Center Scholars program aims to identify promising undergraduate students who are interested in research on neurological disorders, providing financial support for their research and professional development.
The Hope Center is pleased to partner with the NIH-funded Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) uSTAR program at Washington University, a minority-focused undergraduate training program that seeks to increase diversity in PhD and MD-PhD programs nationwide by supporting WashU students in their junior and senior years. Special thanks to Jim Skeath for connecting the Hope Center with the MARC uSTAR program.
