Minority Student Summer Research Opportunity - Albert Einstein
A fellowship in the amount of $2500 will be awarded to students who historically have been underrepresented in medicine. These include African American, Latino/Hispanic and Native American students. Students living outside the New York metropolitan area will be eligible for limited travel reimbursement. It is preferred that students will have completed their junior year of college and intend to apply to admissions to medical school or a doctorial program in biomedical science. Criteria for selection include an excellent academic record and a strong interest in research.
MSSROP will provide students with nine weeks (June 12 to August 7) of research experience conducted with the faculty member at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In addition to research training, students will participate in a special seminar/lecture series together with other college students who are at Einstein for the summer. Campus housing will be available at no cost for students not able to commute.
The deadline for completed applications is March 1, 2008. Applications will be available in 108 Norton Hall starting January 17, 2008.
