The program is aimed at engaging, recruiting, and training highly qualified undergraduate students from underrepresented minority and other disparity populations, from local universities, into minority health and health disparities research careers. This expanded opportunity includes a full-time summer and part-time fall semester experience. Attached is a letter and flier announcement with more information. The Georgetown-Howard Universities Center of Excellence for Health Disparities (CEHD) and Center for Clinical and Translational Research (GHUCCTS) are jointly sponsoring the program. The internship will bring together undergraduate students from diverse background and interests in the Washington, DC metro area to create a rich mix of interns from across disciplinary backgrounds with different career goals. Research interns will participate in multi-disciplinary research projects of senior investigators who will also serve as mentors and role models. They will also participate in didactic sessions, discussion groups, journal clubs, and grand rounds. The application deadline is January 31, 2015. The program dates are June 1, 2015 through November 20, 2015.
