Overview
The Stanford Youth Medical Science Program’s Summer Residential Program is a biomedical pipeline program that aims to diversify the health professions by offering educational enrichment in the biological and medical sciences and college admissions support to low-income high school students. The program gives priority to students who have a strong desire to attend college and enter scientific and health professions, but lack the necessary preparation, financial support, and other resources to advance their education. Led by 10 Stanford undergraduate students with similar backgrounds, this program seeks to engage students in experiential hands-on science and independent research experiences and pair them with role models.

for support of the Policy Analysis for California Education program
Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) is a nonpartisan policy and research center housed at Stanford University. It researches and analyzes education policy issues pertaining to California’s K-12 education system, bridging the gap between research and policy. This grant will help PACE produce relevant analysis and research, which can be used to better inform California education policy development and guide state and local decision making. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
for support of a neuroimaging study of racial bias and professional investors
SPARQ, a research center at Stanford University, seeks to reduce societal disparities and social divides using behavioral science. This grant will support research to examine racial diversity in the financial services industry. It is expected that this information will be used to develop strategies and practices to reduce biases that contribute to racial disparities.
