Summer Research Opp for Minority Students

The Endocrine Society is still accepting applications for the Summer
Research Opportunity (SRO) Program for Minority Students. The SRO program
is a collaborative effort between the Federation of American Societies
for Experimental Biology Minority Research to Access Careers (FASEB MARC)
program and the Society’s Minority Affairs Committee (MAC). The SRO
program aims to encourage promising young scientists to pursue careers in
endocrinology by offering students the opportunity to spend eight weeks
during the summer participating in research projects in the labs of
Endocrine Society members.

The SRO award will provide travel and subsistence support to 15 students
and, as an added benefit, offers students assistance in locating a
mentor. Please encourage students to apply today!

NOTE: As the funding to support this program is being provided through
the FASEB MARC Program Office, it is important to note that
funds/stipends will not be provided directly to students. Travel and
subsistence reimbursements will be provided to the host institutions.
