Partnership for Cancer Research Education

The Partnership for Cancer Research Education is designed to help high school students understand science by participating in cancer research.

We strongly encourage teachers whose students are members of groups traditionally underrepresented in science to use the opportunities provided by the Partnership to expose their students to career options in science. Minority students are encouraged to apply.

The Student Scientist Program

The Student Scientist program places high school students in Fox Chase Cancer Center labs to work on current research projects. Students work after school and full time in the summer as they learn science information, practice inquiry skills, and try out the life of a scientist. Teachers can click here for more information. Students can click here for more information.
