DPAC-HBCU Mentoring Program

The Diversity Postdoctoral Alliance Committee (DPAC) HBCU Mentoring Program supports HBCU undergraduates through improved academic performance, productive research experiences, broadened career awareness, and a heightened sense of belonging in the biomedical career field. This initiative will pair Johns Hopkins University (JHU) trainees with Morgan State University (MSU) STEM undergraduate students, particularly those interested in biomedical careers.

Any undergraduate student in good academic standing at MSU may participate. There is no residency/citizenship requirement.

You will be paired with a JHU trainee in your field of interest including medicine, biomedical research, nursing, public health, and chemical/biomedical engineering (limited). You will have a chance to learn about the journey your mentor took to become a Hopkins trainee. Mentors will provide general advice on navigating undergraduate life, productive research experiences, and biomedical career opportunities. Mentors may also provide feedback on research related application materials. This program does not place students in labs for research. However, mentors may provide you with guidance on finding appropriate labs. There is no stipend associated with this program.
