About U-GROW
Undergraduates Gaining Research Opportunities for the Cancer Workforce (U-GROW) is a program developed and led by Cedars-Sinai Cancer in Los Angeles for students from the eight greater Los Angeles-area campuses of the California State University system: Cal Poly Pomona, Channel Islands, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Northridge, and San Bernardino.
We are an undergraduate research education program whose goal is to create a 21st century cancer workforce for Los Angeles.
Through internships, mentorship, and training we prepare promising LA-area college students, many of them new to research, for graduate programs and careers in cancer research.
Applications for Cohort 5 will open on December 1, 2026. Please see the "Apply" tab above for more information.
