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.
