APE Opportunity, Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education

This APE opportunity for the summer of 2025 offers the chance to collaborate on a project with the Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education (GA CORE), a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the cancer burden in Georgia through research, education, and advocacy. GA CORE recently completed a two-year project with the Advancing Cancer Treatment Foundation, aimed at engaging minority patients in the PROMISE Prostate Cancer Registry study. As part of the project, 60 prostate cancer patients were navigated to submit genetic testing and receive their results, with GA CORE providing navigation and support throughout the process. The summer internship will involve working with the ACT GA CORE team to gather data and prepare an abstract for submission to the AACR Disparities Conference (abstract deadline: 6/24/2025). Additionally, the intern will draft a paper detailing lessons learned from reaching this vulnerable patient population. The intern will report directly to Sheryl Gabram, MD, MBA, a medical consultant for GA CORE and Emory University Emerita Professor of Surgery. A $1,000 stipend will be provided for this summer project.
