DiCR
Diversity in Cancer Research Internship
We are thankful to the American Cancer Society’s support for the UVA DiCR program.
DiCR is a paid, 10-week summer internship for undergraduate students interested in cancer research from groups that are underrepresented in the science and health professions because of race, ethnicity, gender, disability status, and/or because of having a disadvantaged background.
