DARE Fellowship

The C-CAS Diversifying Academia through Research Excellence (DARE) Fellowship is a one-year award that is given annually to two C-CAS trainees. The award recognizes past academic achievements and leadership experiences, as well as the potential that the individual has to advance the mission and vision of C-CAS. Candidates are nominated by their advisors and awardees are selected by the C-CAS Executive Committee. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who identify as belonging to a group whose representation in STEM employment is smaller than their representation in the U.S. population are eligible for this Fellowship.
