Postdoctoral Scholars in Cancer Research (PDSCR)

Postdoctoral Scholars in Cancer Research (PDSCR) is one of the program components of the HSC Scholars in Cancer Research Program offered to Post-doctoral fellows. This program aims to recruit or retain highly talented early-stage cancer researchers, particularly URM researchers in Texas, and provide them with training for professional development and prepare them as well-trained next generation researchers in cancer and health disparities.

The Post-doctoral scholars will be cross-trained in multi-disciplinary techniques. They will interact with non-clinical, clinical researchers, and role model personnel to broaden the knowledge. They will also participate in grants writing, mentoring and leadership training workshops for their career advancement.
