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. They will have the opportunity to
listen to scientific lectures by world-renown NIAID researchers, tour Institute
laboratories, and interview with principal investigators. The INRO program will
pay all expenses for travel, hotel accommodations, and meals.
Applications open August 15-October 15, 2007

student eligibility, highlights of last year's INRO program agenda, student
