The Scholars and Early Stage Advancement (SEA) Initiative represents a crucial and forward-thinking effort aimed at fostering diversity within the cancer research workforce. By identifying, recruiting, and supporting scholars (post-docs, graduate students) who are female or from underserved groups, this initiative seeks to address existing disparities and enhance the inclusivity of cancer research.
The SEA Initiative will:
- Provide a monthly professional development series (grant writing, research, publishing, etc.)
- Provide travel scholarships
- Provide professional and academic networking and mentoring opportunities
Please contact ed@cinj.rutgers.edu for more information.
Listen to Dr. Sunita Chaudhary, Associate Professor of Surgery at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Director of Research Education at Rutgers Cancer Institute, talk about the SEA Initiative on the Recording Rutgers podcast.
The SEA initiative is funded by 3P30CA072720-24S2.
