Join the Global Food Research Program (GFRP) and two former students at the Carolina Population Center to learn about FERN, our summer fellowship program for undergraduate students. FERN aims to strengthen the future nutrition research workforce by providing hands-on experience in food and nutrition policy research, particularly addressing nutrition-related health disparities among historically marginalized communities. Hear from former FERN fellows about their experience and what they’ve gone on to do after the program.

Information about FERN eligibility and application dates can be found on the GFRP website.

This is an in-person, CLE Credit event.
