About the Program
Place-based Health Informatics Research Education or PHIRE is a research training initiative for undergraduate students who are (a) currently enrolled or transferring to the University of Arizona, (b) interested in biomedical research, and (c) looking to pursue graduate education in areas related to health informatics. PHIRE offers an intensive, paid research experience for 12 weeks in summer (plus part-time in Fall), followed by a tailored thematic minor in health informatics.
This program is supported by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health under award number R25LM01422.
