FYI _____ From: Health Professions Advising Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Davis, Paula K Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 3:36 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [HLTHPROF] University of Pittsburgh Post-Bacc Opportunity Colleagues - The University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences has obtained funding for a 1-year post-baccalaureate experience for URM students who are interested in biomedical graduate training. UPIRTA (University of Pittsburgh Intramural Research Training Award) includes 2 research pathways: autism and antibiotic resistant infectious disease. All students are eligible to apply, however, as funding comes from the State of Pennsylvania, preference in admission is given to: * students from Lincoln and Cheyney universities (PA's two HBCUs) * the University of Pittsburgh, and * Pittsburgh-area and Pennsylvania natives If you have URM students who are preparing for graduate school, and can benefit from a rich, mentored, funded research experience prior to application, please pass this link along: http://www.healthdiversity.pitt.edu/programs/upirta.php. Please let me know if you or your students have questions. Thank you, Paula Davis Paula K.
