The Chicago Cancer Health Equity Collaborative (ChicagoCHEC) Fellows program is a comprehensive learning experience for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students at Northeastern Illinois University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University, the City Colleges of Chicago and other community and junior colleges in the Chicago metropolitan area who are planning to apply to graduate or medical school. This program is focused on the development of academic, technical, and professional skills in preparation for careers in social, behavioral, and biomedical research and in healthcare.
ChicagoCHEC Fellows will spend the summer in seminars and research rotations learning from leading researchers. The 2024 program will run from June 10-August 2, 2023. Students are paid a stipend for participating in the eight-week program. I am pleased to share that the application to become a ChicagoCHEC fellow for the 2024 summer cohort is open and available on the ChicagoCHEC website now through Feb. 5, 2024. The program flyer and brochure are attached.

Thank you for your help spreading the word! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I am available to come to any meetings to talk about our research program. If any students have any questions or need help with the application, please email (ahern28@uic.edu).
