DREAM | health Disparities, Research, Experiential Learning, Aging Science and Mentorship

Drexel University’s DREAM Scholars Program is a robust and innovative training initiative designed to prepare the next generation of biomedical, behavioral and clinical researchers in aging science. Built on five core pillars—health disparities, interdisciplinary aging research, experiential learning, innovative virtual learning community and faculty mentorship—DREAM leverages Drexel’s strengths from bench to policy to address pressing challenges in aging. Scholars engage in paid, immersive research experiences through a 10‑week summer program or a 26‑week co‑op track, gaining hands‑on training while mastering research and aging science competencies.
