Minority HIV Research Training Program Application

The Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Case Medical Center Center for AIDS Research is now accepting applications for the Summer 2009 Minority HIV Research Training Program (MHTP).  Applications are due on Friday, February 13, 2009 by 5:00 p.m.

Successful applicants will be assigned to a Case CFAR faculty member, and will work on projects for 10 weeks during the summer of 2008.  Specific project requirements will be determined by the CFAR faculty member.  A stipend of $3,000 will be allotted each participant.  For participants who will incur traveling costs to Cleveland for the summer, part of the stipend may be advanced to cover said costs if so desired.   

As part of the application preparation process, applicants are strongly encouraged to directly contact Case/UH CFAR members to serve as a mentor for their summer project.  A list of Case/UH CFAR members, along with their research interests and website links, is available at  http://www.clevelandactu.org/CFAR/html/cfarmembers.htm

Applicants must be an undergraduate, graduate or medical student, currently enrolled in an accredited U.S. college or university.  There are no citizenship requirements.  For purposes of this program, minorities are those who self-identify as African-American, Hispanic/Latino(a), Native American or Alaskan and Hawaiian Natives.
