For each of these opportunities, the parameters of this program will permit the student to be paid a stipend as if they were here at UT Southwestern ($3,000 for the 10-week period during the summer of 2012). These funds will constitute all of the funds available for support via this program (travel, housing, subsistence) – any additional expenditures will be the responsibility of the student.
When: Summer research period 2012 - Tuesday, May 29, 2012 - Friday, August 3, 2012
Eligibility: Currently enrolled medical student in good standing at UT Southwestern. It is anticipated that for the summer of 2012, students will be derived from the MS1 class. In future years, this applicant pool may be enlarged.
