Thank you for your interest in joining the Pathways Explorers 2020 cohort. Unfortunately, the Science Education Partnership at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has made the difficult decision to cancel our program this year.

While we remain deeply committed to supporting the next generation of scientific leaders, the uncertainty around COVID-19 prevents us from being able to take on students this summer. Information for the 2021 programs will be posted in the fall. We hope you will consider applying to one of our internship programs next year. More information can be found on fredhutch.org.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to pathways-explorers@fredhutch.org.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305 OMB Control Number: 1250-0005

Page 1 of 1 Expires 05/31/2023

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?
