Research and Racial Equity (RARE) Summer Internship Program

rare

The Research and Racial Equity (RARE) Summer Internship Program is an 8-week program with three goals: (1) Increasing diversity in public health research workforce, (2) fostering health equity in public health research and (3) providing public health research experience to those who have traditionally had limited access. Housed in NYU’s Center for Anti-racism, Social Justice, and Public Health (CASJPH), RARE will provide an immersive summer experience through research, community work experience, professional and educational workshops, and faculty and peer mentorship.
