DRIVE (Diversity, Respect, and Inclusion are Vital for Excellence) in Research Pipeline

Overview

The DRIVE (Diversity, Respect, and Inclusion are Vital for Excellence) in Research Pipeline aims to improve the diversity of the research workforce underrepresented in maternal and child health-related research while supporting mentorship and training.  This program is intended to maintain and grow the pipeline of diverse students interested in pursuing biomedical research careers. DRIVE is funded by the LPFCH Children’s Fund and the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.

The DRIVE in Research Pipeline Program provides summer research experience and mentorship opportunities in maternal and child health research to underrepresented minorities (URM) / and first-generation and/or low-income (FLI) Stanford undergraduates.

Congratulations to the 2022 cohort of the DRIVE in Research Pipeline program!
23 Stanford undergraduate students were selected and matched individually with an MCHRI faculty mentor to work on a maternal and child health research project over the summer.

Applications for DRIVE Summer 2023 will open in Fall 2022
