Short-Term Research Experience for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP)

Knight Cancer Institute members offer mentorship in numerous research opportunities for high school students across OHSU. Our Ted R. Lilley Continuing Umbrella of Research Education (CURE) Program is a research internship program that offers hands-on research experiences to Portland-area high school students who excel academically and come from socially or economically disadvantaged backgrounds. 

Knight Scholars is a new program designed to provide ninth and tenth graders with up to a three-year introduction to careers in cancer. The program encourages youth whose communities are underrepresented in cancer research, healthcare and public health – including those of diverse races and ethnicities and those from rural areas – to consider making a career out of the fields of cancer research, treatment and prevention.

The recruitment of underrepresented minorities to the medical, graduate, and postdoctoral programs remains a constant focus at OHSU and Knight Cancer Institute because when we draw from a limited net, we have limited talent. Along with OHSU, the Knight holds fast in its resolve to help break barriers for underrepresented minorities with an interest in cancer research by offering education and training in programs across the Institution and trainee levels.  We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, or gender identity.
