We invite your best students to apply for our NIH/NCI-funded (5 R25CA023944-30) Pediatric Oncology Education
(POE) Program <http://www.stjude.org/poe>.
The program offers a unique opportunity for pre-doctoral students
preparing for careers in the biomedical sciences, medicine, and pharmacy
to gain biomedical and oncology research
experience. Students participate in basic or clinical oncology
research, research and clinical conferences, and a core lecture series
designed specifically for them. All participants make a PowerPoint
presentation on their research project and submit a report
on their research project written in the style of a journal in which
their faculty mentor publishes.
The POE home page <http://www.stjude.org/poe>
contains links to
the program application, which must be submitted online. The deadline
for receipt of all 2014 application materials is February 1, 2014. Early
application is highly recommended. Letters
of recommendation sent as PDF attachments
to email are requested.. Members of under-represented ethnic minority
groups and women are particularly encouraged to apply, since one of our
major long-term program goals is to increase the diversity of persons
engaged in oncology research and practice. Our
NIH/NCI-funded (2 P30CA021765-34S1) Continuing Umbrella of Research
Experiences (CURE) grant provides remuneration for additional
undergraduate under-represented minority POE Program participants.
