Course Description
The EiHS CIRM Summer Program to Accelerate Regenerative Medicine Knowledge (SPARK) is a hands-on research experience run collaboratively by Pathways to Stem Cell Science and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Funded by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), EiHS CIRM SPARK enables six students to participate in stem cell research at Caltech on a full tuition scholarship. EiHS CIRM SPARK is part of a larger CIRM funded initiative to provide advanced science education to low income students who lack the means to participate in summer research programs.
CIRM SPARK scholars follow a similar curriculum to the EiHS Research Internship Program, completing introductory training, hands-on research and educational forums focusing on a range of topics from ethics, to career development to entrepreneurial science. They also take part in math tuition classes, social media activities and attend the CIRM SPARK Conference - a state-wide event showcasing the research and achievements of CIRM SPARK students from around California.
