[nativestudies-l] Opportunities: internships and fellowships

[Alyssa Mt. Pleasant]

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is pleased to announce the 2008 
Introduction to Cancer Research Careers (ICRC) Program.  ICRC is 
designed to encourage individuals from populations underrepresented in 
science and/or financially disadvantaged backgrounds to seek internship 
opportunities at the NCI.  Successful ICRC applicants will take part in 
a 2-day campus visit to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 
Bethesda, Maryland, where they will have the opportunity to learn about 
the various programs for scientists-in-training, participate in 
laboratory tours, interview for either a summer or post-baccalaureate 
(1-year) internship.  Participants selected for internships receive a 
monthly stipend, round-trip travel, and summer housing accommodations. 

Our goal is to encourage a diverse group of talented students to explore 
careers in biomedical research.  You can help us meet that goal by 
sharing this information with students you know who would benefit from 
this opportunity.  While we are certainly making efforts to publicize 
this information in a variety of formats to our target audience, we know 
that persons such as you are in the best position to recommend students 
to the program. 

*__* *_Completed applications are due Monday, November 26th_*.

Below you will find a link to the ICRC website.  A copy of our brochure 
is attached (for posting on a bulletin board).  If you have any 
questions about the program or the application process, please feel free 
to reply to this e-mail, or contact the ICRC program managers.
