Did you know? SF BUILD enables students from underrepresented groups in science to draw from their unique personal experiences to successfully pursue a career in biomedical research. This includes investigating biomedical research questions relevant to local communities while engaging in “giving back” research and engaging with successful role models and their contributions to local communities to help increase motivation for a career in biomedical research.
For Undergraduates
SF BUILD Scholar 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 investigate biomedical research questions that are of interest to them and relevant to local communities. Through a variety of activities, SF BUILD scholars receive support to integrate personal strengths, develop strong research skills, and pursue academic and professional goals.
For Graduates & Post-Baccalaureates
SF BUILD BUILDing Bridges Program
