This event will help match DCI faculty that have grants eligible for a diversity supplement with eligible trainees.
DCI’s CRTEC Office will host a matching event on November 21, 2024, from 9am to noon. This event provides Duke faculty engaged in cancer-related research with an opportunity to have short, 10-minute conversations with trainees who are interested in research and qualify for funding through the NIH Diversity Supplement mechanism. Typically, NIH Diversity Supplements provide salary support for the trainee to work in your lab for 1-2 years.
