The Summer Program in Diabetes and Obesity Research
(SPIDOR) program is a unique summer program sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Funded by the NIH/NIDDK, the 10-week SPIDOR program gives outstanding underrepresented students in science and medicine an opportunity to participate in cutting-edge
research in the laboratories of faculty members from the USC Diabetes
and Obesity Research Institute (DORI). Program participants will be exposed to basic science, translational, and clinical research
experiences. The summer session culminates with students presenting their research findings to the KSOM community at large.
Participants will receive a stipend, and housing/transportation costs are covered by the program.
