Latino SHARE (Scholars in HIV/AIDS Research Education) Program
Applications for SHARE 2025 Open SOON!
What is the Latino SHARE Program?
Latinos are the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority population in our nation, yet they make up less than 2% of the biomedical scientist workforce. The Latino SHARE (Scholars in HIV/AIDS Research Education) program seeks to change that! SHARE provides training, mentoring, and hands-on research experience for undergraduate students and recent college graduates from Hispanic/Latino backgrounds, during a 10-week paid summer internship. We seek to inspire SHARE participants to pursue further studies and careers in HIV and substance use disorders (SUD)-related research and practice.
Program Highlights
- Gain hands-on experience conducting a research project on a topic in HIV/AIDS and substance use disorders (SUD)
- Acquire knowledge through lectures and seminars in academic areas to enhance knowledge of topics and methods used in research and HIV/SUD-related topics (e.g., HIV prevention, social determinants of health)
- Develop skills in research, networking, and career development
- Participate in workshops and seminars led by internationally recognized experts in HIV/AIDS, mental health, and substance use research
- Explore career options in scientific research and practice in public health and social and behavioral sciences.
