The established framework for our success meeting the growing need for biomedical researchers and health professionals is motivated by a coordinated plan that provides training opportunities in biomedical research and delivers outreach to all communities. This plan includes a variety of programs that reach out to students from K-12, through college, and into graduate school and health care professions.

 

Through an endowment from the National Institutes of Health, MiHERO supports Ph.D. scholars, junior faculty development and scholarship for senior faculty.

 

The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) funded “Osteopathic Scholars in Cancer Research” (OSCR) supports short term and dual degree research training for health professional students.
