Description:

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM) Pacific Region Diabetes Education (PRIDE) Program is a federally funded program designed to expose undergraduate scholars to the exciting discovery of scientific inquiry early in their academic training to increase the likelihood they choose to pursue a biomedical career path. 

If selected for the PRIDE Programs, UHM will waive the requirement to be registered in summer session since you are expected to conduct a research project full-time from June through August.  Please notify us if you have any question(s).
