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.
