MADURA (Mentorship for Advancing Diversity in Undergraduate Research on Aging), a National Institute of Aging funded R25 undergraduate training program, aims to improve diversity in research and clinical careers that are focused on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and other aging-related topics. MADURA provides paid research lab placements and group training for UC San Diego undergraduates, who are from groups historically underrepresented in MSTEM (Medical, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) majors. The program supports trainee academic success and retention and promotes application to graduate/medical programs and/or entry into clinical or research careers in aging or ADRD.
