Cancer Research Opportunities for Youth (CROY)

SUMMER INTERNSHIP STARTING JUNE 26TH

YALE CANCER CENTER

OPEN TO STUDENTS AGES 16 AND UP AT THE START OF THE PROGRAM

APPLICATIONS DUE FRIDAY, MARCH 31ST


CROY (Cancer Research Opportunities for Youth) is a new initiative from the Yale Cancer Center meant to provide young people from the local community with hands-on experience, mentoring, and collaboration within the cancer research pipeline. To qualify for this program, you must be 16 when the program begins, you must be willing to commit to working two summers of research at the Cancer Center, and you must identify with a group that is underrepresented in cancer research. In general, this refers to individuals who are Hispanic/Latino, Black or African American. However, other students may also qualify for this program.

The program will provide aspiring young scientists from the New Haven community an opportunity to embed themselves within research teams engaged in all aspects of cancer research over the course of 2 summers. Eligible students will be matched with research teams working in projects related to Cancer Immunology, Cancer Prevention and Control, Developmental Therapeutics, Genomics, Genetics and Epigenetics, Radiobiology and Radiotherapy, or Viral and Other Infection-associated Cancers.

You will have the opportunity to learn about cancer research, develop research skills, and be mentored by some of the best cancer researchers in the world. This is a unique opportunity to take advantage of a world class research institution in your own backyard!
