PSCI Affiliate Membership

You may be accessing this application from PSCI's affiliate membership website to apply for the affiliate membership, receiving it because your mentor reported you as a Penn State Cancer Institute (PSCI) trainee, or receiving it as an existing affiliate member to verify and update your information annually. Each spring, we will request that you verify your information and share outcomes and future plans.

All current Penn State students and trainees who are performing cancer research within the PSCI and are being mentored by a PSCI member are eligible for affiliate membership status, including medical students, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, residents, and fellows. "PSCI affiliate member" can be listed on a trainee's curriculum vitae as a professional society membership. Benefits for this membership can be found on the PSCI's affiliate membership website.

To create and expand cancer research training and educational opportunities offered through the PSCI, we must request information about you and your accomplishments. We value your support and privacy. Please be assured that the PSCI will not share your personally identifiable information beyond the CRTEC Core team but may use de-identified data for reporting or program evaluation purposes.

Please complete, update, and verify your information.

An Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is used to uniquely identify researchers in order to connect them to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time. It ensures your contributions are not confused with those of other researchers. We encourage all of our trainees to establish this ID now to use throughout your career. Knowing your ID will help the PROMISE team correctly identify your work in the future as we follow your career progression.
