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 2010 Minority HIV Research Training Program (MHTP).  Applications are due on Friday, February 12, 2010 by 5:00 p.m.

Successful applicants will be assigned to a Case CFAR faculty member, and will work on projects for 8 weeks during the summer of 2010.  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 in good standing record at a current university.  They must also be a US citizen, non-citizen national or carry a green-card.  The applicants must be an underrepresented minority student.*
*Minorities are those who self-identify as American Indian or Alaskan native, Asian, black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander.
