Summer opportunity abroad

The MIRT fellowship is intended specifically to assist minority students to undertake a 10-12 week summer project related to HIV/AIDS in a foreign (preferably developing) country.

Students contemplating careers in the biomedical sciences, behavioral and social sciences, or interdisciplinary studies (i.e. environmental studies, women's studies) are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Applications are due by Feb. 15.

For applications and additional information, send e-mail to annette.ackerman@yale.edu.
