Training Opportunities and Mentored Students


Invitation to Students and Volunteers

Dr. Sadler's public health lab welcomes undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students, as well volunteers who are seeking in-depth service learning opportunities.  Her lab's focus is largely at the interface of cancer control and health disparities research.  

The lab's publications accurately reflect the diversity of research that is underway. Within the lab, there are opportunities: to work with quantitative and qualitative data; conduct in-depth syntheses of the scientific literature; learn how to adhere to  the Federally mandated human subjects guidelines; engage in the preparation of research grant applications; gain experience working with people from diverse  communities; work within highly successful community-campus partnerships; and engage in the recruitment to research studies among communities that are traditionally underrepresented in research studies.

A list follows of students who have worked or are currently working in the lab.
