The Cancer Research Training and Education Coordination (CRTEC) initiative of the Abramson Cancer Center collaborates with Penn Medicine’s Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity to ensure continued, visible efforts in developing a diverse and inclusive workforce in cancer research at all levels. We embrace Penn Medicine’s strategic priorities of the Action for Cultural Transformation to eliminate structural injustice across Penn Medicine and the communities we serve, and aim to demonstrate sincerity of this commitment through tangible actions.

Below is a list of resources and opportunities available to the cancer research community — from students, scholars and trainees to fellows and faculty — to help diversify the cancer workforce and ultimately eliminate disparities in health and education.
