Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE)
The Stanford Medical Youth Science Program (SMYSP) won a competitive national grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE), through its Comprehensive Program, the government agency announced.
This grant will be used to fund the Stanford/FIPSE School-Based Science Initiative model, and will make it possible for even more minority and low-income students in northern and central California to receive the educational mentoring and college preparation work that SMYSP has delivered for more than 17 years.
The Stanford/FIPSE School-Based Science Initiative will include inquiry-based science, training on the scientific process, culturally relevant research projects, hospital and community-based internships, exposure to college life, interaction with health professionals, college and career advising, and long-term follow-up. The initiative will also promote dissemination efforts at Schools of Medicine and Public Health throughout the country.
