Program Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How am I matched with my preceptor (Principal Investigator - PI)?
A: Qualified diverse students who are accepted into the
program are "matched" with an established faculty investigator(s) to participate in a research project(s) addressing the causes, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular, pulmonary and hematological diseases. When completing the application, applicants
rank the three specific areas of interest. If admitted into the program, the selection committee does its best to place interns in their top choice. The PI's review the applications and will make their determinations about who they feel might be a good fit
for their lab. As a reminder, you will be a member of a research team and your daily interaction may not be with your PI, you may work most closely with the lab manager, lab tech, post-doc and perhaps even graduate students. You will be notified via email
about the match.
Q: How much does it cost to participate in DSHREP?
A: DSHREP is free for all participants. Fellows are paid
a salary of $10.00 per hour based on a 40 hour work week. Subject to Federal, State, Social Security, and Medicare taxes based on your completed W-4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. Students are not eligible for holiday pay or overtime.
