Summer Research Enhancement Program
A unique training program for students interested in cancer and diabetes prevention research
2010 Application Deadline: March 12, 2010
Diné College has developed a model program for training students in cancer and diabetes prevention research. Diné College believes that Native American students are more likely to develop an interest in cancer and diabetes prevention research if those interests are nurtured in a culturally supportive atmosphere. The intent of the research training program is twofold:
• To provide health-related research training and research experiences to Native American students, and
• To provide students with a firm grasp of the conceptual basis of traditional Native American life, particularly in the context of western academia.

If you are an American Indian College Student and have an interest in cancer and diabetes prevention research among Native Americans, this opportunity may be for you. The research program is conducted in a culturally supportive atmosphere where each student is encouraged to adopt a strong, multi-cultural approach to cancer and diabetes prevention research.
This 10-week program will help students to develop skills and interests in cancer and diabetes prevention research and participate first hand in community based, on-going research projects at Diné College and at other institutions on the Navajo Nation and in other Native communities. In recent years, though SREP has expanded nationally Diné College has formed stronger collaborative links with other tribal colleges and universities.
