For students
Research Design and Analysis Core (RDAC) seminar series
Led by expert faculty, our seminar series is intended to educate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty in social and behavioral research methods, as well as statistical methods.
The Partnership Post
Our monthly newsletter includes Partnership-specific events and deadlines, training programs for students from undergrads through postdocs, and our Student Spotlight.
Monthly Scientific Meetings
Our Monthly Scientific Meetings (MSMs) provide a platform for project investigators and interested faculty to present their research to a wider audience, including students. MSMs are open to all interested in expanding their scientific knowledge and engaging in transdisciplinary discussion.
Annual Cancer Symposium
The Annual Cancer Symposium, hosted at UMass Boston or DF/HCC, provides attendees insight into cutting-edge research in cancer, cancer disparities, health disparities, and community-based interventions. All are welcome to participate in the event, whereby a renowned scientist will offer a keynote address followed by an interactive Q+A.
DEI Toolkits
Our research-informed Partnership toolkits are intended to provide students with a base knowledge of issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging and equip them with the tools needed to implement inclusive practices throughout their work. Each toolkit features a person involved in our Partnership who shares a personal story about their own professional development in relationship to the topic.
