Centro SOL Junior Researcher Fund
We are excited to announce the inaugural Centro SOL Junior Researcher Fund funded with a donation by Dr. Tania Caballero, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Centro SOL has established a Junior Researcher Fund to support graduate students in engaging Latine populations in research. The Fund covers the cost of one 30-minute consultation with one of Centro SOL Latino Family or Youth Advisory Boards (the Latino Family Advisory Board is facilitated entirely in Spanish).
