Thank you all for your support as the worked with 1000's of local student scientists, in labs, in schools, and at home. At the end of the month the ISP@Fccc program is sunsetting and this page will be closed.
We are thankful for the Office of Community Outreach at Fox Chase Cancer Center for their collaboration and look forward to hearing more about the work you accomplish with the ISP Grads. Being a part of the social science initiatives has been amazing.
