What is BioCoRE? Duke BioCoRE is a new institutional program centered on building an inclusive community of research scholars in the biomedical, biological and behavioral sciences. All incoming PhD students in bioscience departments and programs are invited to apply. Scholars will be appointed based on the fit of the applicants to the program goals and slot availability. BioCoRE will provide extended research experiences for Undergraduate BioCoRE Scholars, enhanced opportunities that complement the bioscience graduate programs for Graduate BioCoRE Scholars, and multiple career engagement and social activities for Undergraduate and Graduate Scholars, as well as involved faculty members from the School of Medicine, the Graduate School, Trinity College, and Pratt School of Engineering. One major goal of BioCoRE is to increase the diversity of scientists in the biosciences, and another is to promote student development with research experiences, engagement with faculty, and career development activities. Any student seeking to be a part of the BioCoRE community should be committed to these goals.
BioCoRE is dedicated to increasing diversity in the biosciences, and we consider diversity in a broad sense (e.g., racial and ethnic, first generation, unique life experiences, religion, disadvantaged backgrounds, disabilities, LGBT, etc). We will select a diverse pool of Scholars, including individuals who embrace the goal of increased diversity but do not belong to a particular underrepresented group in biosciences.
