_____ Dear Colleagues, I am passing on an announcement on behalf of Dr. Wendy Fibison from NIH/NIAID on the INRO outreach program for under-represented populations in the biomedical sciences. In getting the word out, I was hoping, at least to dissemination some quick facts about this program, and at most, help organize an information session in late September for graduate students (week of Sept 24th), which we can host at Columbia University/CUMC or somewhere here in the city. The deadline for program application is October 15. If there is someone who works directly on these programs in your office, would you pass this on to them? And let me know if you think it feasible for Dr. Fibison to travel to our fair city to meet with the students .I am happy to participate in some fashion in organizing the info session. Thanks and please read below: Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO), a program intended for students from populations underrepresented in biomedical research interested in exploring a research career in the areas of allergy, immunology, and infectious diseases. NIAID is seeking qualified applicants for the 5-day program to be held February 3-7, 2008, at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Students selected to attend INRO 2008 will learn about the Institute and about training opportunities available at NIAID.
