Additionally, faculty in the [KU Cancer Center]) (some of whom are based at KU Medical Center in Kansas City) are also affiliated with the KU IRACDA. These groups provide an excellent environment for research development in a range of biological and biomedical fields, and these experiences will be supplemented by skill-development workshops.
In addition, the KU IRACDA provides scholars with an opportunity to gain teaching skills via mentored teaching experiences at one of two partner institutions; [Haskell Indians Nations University]) (based in Lawrence) and [Kansas City Kansas Community College]).
