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

Overview

The DRIVE (Diversity, Respect, and Inclusion are Vital for Excellence) in Research Pathway 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 pathway 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 Pathway 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 Pathway 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.
