Haumana 'O Pasifika Program
The Haumana 'O Pasifika Program
The Haumana 'O Pasifika Program is designed to encourage and enable research and career development opportunities for undergraduate students and recent graduates interested in improving the health of Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHPI). We aim to train future members of the scientific & medical community. Selected applicants will be paired with scientific mentors and cultural mentors who are leaders in the field or community, respectively.
We have initiated paid research internship programs that will provide research opportunities, clinical shadowing experience, career development opportunities, and community outreach involvement. Haumana Scholars will attend weekly seminars in order to: 1) increase exposure to the breadth of the scientific research community; 2) enhance career development and networking opportunities and; 3) enhance the trainee's skills in scientific communication
The Haumana O' Pasifika Program offers a 10-week, paid summer research program for undergraduate students and recent graduates.
