The University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center is offering a Summer research program for 2001. The program will involve 10 weeks during the summer, during which students will gain intensive hands-on laboratory experience under the direction of seasoned faculty researchers and teachers. Please indicate your choices of faculty mentors and research areas on the application. Eligibility Undergraduate students enrolled in any accredited U.S. college or university during 2000 may participate. Seniors may apply if they are eligible to return to their home university the semester following the program.
Students are responsible for travel and living expenses.
Housing, at a reasonable cost, is located near the UT-Houston Medical School. The National Rural Health Association announces its 12 th Annual Rural Health Policy Institute, February 5-7, 2001. The other issue I would like to float is to have your opinion on a rural lecture series that would be on the internet and available for everyone to use. The lectures would be on powerpoint with the speaker notes and references. The advantage of this would be a collaborative work process allowing more topics to be more comprehensively covered than one rural faculty member could do.
