The primary objective is to provide over 1,000 Black/African-American, Hispanic/LatinX and American Indian/Alaska Native students/fellows with an opportunity to network with advisors/role models from the basic and clinical sciences, medicine, public health, academia and the biopharmaceutical industry. These advisors/role models will encourage students/fellows to complete advanced studies and provide concrete advice and information on available resources, professional opportunities and career paths in biomedical and other science-related fields. The second objective is to enable student participants to meet, inspire and network with one another.
