The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded Stanford University a 5-year, $166,428 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to establish a new T32 Predoctoral Training Program titled "Genetic and Environmental Basis of Cancer Risk and Disparities (GECARD)." The program aims to train the next generation of multidisciplinary cancer researchers with expertise in uncovering the complex factors underlying cancer risk and disparities. The training will integrate coursework, seminars, internships, and mentored research across disciplines such as epidemiology, biostatistics, genomics, environmental health, and community-engaged research. The program will provide rigorous, interdisciplinary training to develop students' skills in novel research methods, data analytics, communication, and leadership - preparing them to pursue impactful cancer research careers. The award leverages Stanford's research strengths and partnerships with local biotech companies to offer a comprehensive training experience.
