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.
COVID-19 resources
These resources offer credible COVID-19-related information that is easy to access, understand, and act upon.
