About the PUMAS Program
The 9-week PUMAS internship program aims to provide lab experience to historically underrepresented community college students before they transfer to a 4-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). It is organized by the Outreach, Diversity, and Mentoring team at Gladstone and funded by the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
