The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the second largest Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is seeking applicants for its Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO) program, which provides an invaluable opportunity for students with strong academic standing who are from populations underrepresented in biomedical research.
Candidates who are a college-level senior, medical school student, or doctoral candidate, and from a population underrepresented in the biomedical sciences are eligible.
During the 4-day program, students will hear lectures from world-renowned scientists and interview for potential research training positions at the Institute's Maryland and Montana laboratories. The program takes place in Bethesda, MD, on the NIH campus, February 7–10, 2011. Students' expenses for travel, hotel accommodations, and meals will be paid.
Applications will be accepted from August 15 through October 15, 2010. Interested students can apply online through the program's Web site: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/labsandresources/labs/training/inro/Pages/default.aspx
