Komen Graduate Training Program UT MDACC

Through generous funding from Susan G. Komen, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Komen Training Program to Reduce Breast Cancer Disparities in Black and Hispanic Women seeks to develop the next cadre of leaders in breast cancer disparities research, who will be equipped to develop novel strategies to improve the lives of black and Hispanic women with and at risk for breast cancer. The overall goal of our training program is to recruit highly-qualified graduate students (masters and doctoral) and launch them into research careers focused on reducing breast cancer disparities. Trainees will achieve this goal through the following program activities: 1) Individually-tailored, mentored research projects in breast cancer disparities; 2) Interactive, community-based and clinical breast cancer experiences; 3) Didactic coursework and seminars in breast cancer disparities; and 4) Breast cancer disparities symposium
