The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center helps the next generation of cancer scientists find success through various educational opportunities. Now in its third year, the Cancer Research Scholars Program (CRSP) is our undergraduate student cancer-focused summer program. CRSP offers cancer research and career training, field experiences, and community engagement opportunities.

Over the summer, 25 CRSP students gained hands-on experience both in the lab and in the community. Along with their research, CRSP students supported our Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (COE). This collaboration offered experience in community engagement primarily through the Hamilton County 513Relief Bus, an initiative that provides health screenings and social services to residents. Through their involvement, CRSP students help reduce health disparities and improve outcomes in our community.

We are grateful for the hard work of our CRSP students, who are making an impact on cancer research and community health!
