Welcome to the SF BUILD student scholars page! This section contains information for students interested in the training program.
SF BUILD gives San Francisco State University students interested in biomedical research* the opportunity to become a San Francisco (SF) BUILD (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity) scholar. We believe that everyone "brings something to the table" from their personal experiences that can be used to benefit and strengthen our communities. In partnership with UC San Francisco (UCSF), SF BUILD scholars will investigate biomedical research questions that are of interest to them and relevant to local communities.
Through a variety of activities, SF BUILD scholars will receive support to integrate personal strengths, develop strong research skills, and pursue academic and professional goals. Learn more about the benefits of SF BUILD and how to apply below.
