FYI!!

 

I would like to bring your attention to a very important matter and website.
The NIH has recently specified their definition of what students would
qualify as:

a.  under-represented in biomedical research
b.  students with a disability
c.  students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

http://grants.nih.gov/training/faq_diversity.htm#a3

MD-PhD Programs (and most summer programs) will be using the aforementioned
federal definitions.  Please note, in addition to reporting to the NIH how
many underrepresented students are in their MD-PhD Programs, MD-PhD Programs
now need to report to the NIH how many students we have from disadvantaged
backgrounds.

I hope you and your students find this website helpful.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season and New Year.
Ruthie
