Charbonneau EDIA Summer Studentship
Within cancer research, individuals and teams are making a difference. Every unique voice, perspective and contribution matters as we work toward meeting the cancer challenge – together.
The Charbonneau Cancer Institute recognizes the important and vital contributions of individuals and teams in fostering a more equitable, diverse and inclusive culture in cancer research.
The Charbonneau EDIA Summer Studentship was created to engage University of Calgary undergraduate students with an interest in cancer research and provide them with the opportunity to spend their summer learning alongside and working with some of the best and brightest cancer researchers. Through hands-on research experiences and mentorship, students can explore cancer research while bringing their own perspectives and voices to the research community.
