ChicagoCHEC Fellowship Series: Perfecting Your Application

The ChicagoCHEC Research Fellows program is a comprehensive learning experience for undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students at Northeastern Illinois University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University, the City Colleges of Chicago, and other Community/ Junior Colleges in the Chicago metropolitan area who are planning to apply to graduate or medical school. This program is focused on the development of academic, technical, and professional skills in preparation for careers in social, behavioral, and biomedical research and in healthcare. ChicagoCHEC Research Fellows will spend the summer in seminars and research rotations learning from leading researchers. Following the summer intensive program, ChicagoCHEC Research Fellows will have the option to be matched with a research mentor and research project (depending on mentor and project availability) during the academic year.

Our goal with this recruitment series is to address any questions or concerns prospective students may have about the summer program while applying. The next event is being held next February 11 at 4 PM. It will be a walkthrough of the application with ChicagoCHEC staff who will answer any questions the participants may have. You can register for the event here.
