The IRACDA program is a NIH supported program that provides three years of support to fellows in various science research fields. The IRACDA program assists in the training of post-doctoral fellows in preparation for research and teaching careers in academia. The goals of the program are to enhance research skills by providing mentored research experiences while developing teaching skills through assignments that promote the advancement of under-represented minorities.
Program Advantages
In addition to providing students with a mentored research experience and a teaching opportunity, IRACDA also provides professional development opportunities such as grant writing workshops, science publishing workshops, and travel support to attend national meetings.
