helps fund the full length of their graduate education at universities in Israel. STEP focuses on scientific problems that affect these societies across borders such as infectious diseases (e.g., COVID-19), complex health problems (e.g., diabetes and cancer),

In addition, its focus on students with limited access to such advanced training helps reduce educational inequities that impede personal and societal growth.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; background: white;"><o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></span></p>
