Advanced Course on Cancer-Related Health Disparities Research, Mentoring and Leadership

The Advanced Course on Cancer-Related Health Disparities Research, Mentoring and Leadership is an annual NCI-funded skills development course aimed at preparing participants for a successful and consistently-funded career in cancer research, which is increasingly essential in the hyper-competitive funding environment.

The course aims to train cancer researchers — particularly junior faculty — in maintaining long-term productivity in their cancer research careers.

This unique cross-institutional collaboration is led by IU School of Medicine’s Kola Okuyemi, MD, MPH, and University of Utah’s Gita Suneja, MD, MS. To date, the course has held seven top-rated cohorts since starting in 2020. On alternating years, the 3.5-day in-person cohorts will be hosted either in Indianapolis, IN, or in Salt Lake City, UT. The course provides financial support to our select participants for travel, lodging and per-diem meals.

Applications are due on February 28.
