An East Carolina University (ECU) and Fayetteville State University (FSU) partnership has received more than $1.3 million grant from the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Foundation to address public health needs in the region. This partnership aims to build pathways to recruit a diverse graduate student population through the development of a summer research immersion program and provide graduate student scholarship support. The partnership will fund scholarships for students from Minority Serving Institutions in the state (i.e., Historically Black Colleges and Universities, University of North Carolina at Pembroke) to enter ECU’s public health, environmental health, health education and promotion, biology and biotechnology graduate programs.
