Generation Tomorrow and the Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) are pleased to host Generation Tomorrow: Summer Health Disparity Scholars. The program is intended for undergraduate students interested in HIV and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) health disparities and their intersection with substance use (addiction and overdose), violence, mental health, and the social determinants of health.
