The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a 5-year, $268,401 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The grant, titled "Cancer Undergraduate Research Education Program" (CUREP), aims to address the underrepresentation of Black Americans and other economically disadvantaged groups in cancer research by expanding and diversifying the biomedical workforce.

CUREP will provide 12 undergraduate students from underrepresented groups with a 10-week summer research internship at UNC-CH, NCCU, and NCAT, two historically Black universities. The program will offer hands-on cancer research experience, professional development activities, and year-long group coaching to help students integrate academic and life skills and increase their chances of successfully completing their degrees. The goal is to increase the participation and representation of underrepresented groups in cancer research and contribute to the diversification of the biomedical workforce.
