The Green Fellows program, offered jointly by UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the University of Texas - Dallas, will provide a semester-long intensive research training experience that will lead to an understanding of the planning, discipline, and teamwork involved in addressing basic research problems in the biological sciences.  Green Fellows will pursue individual research projects under the direction of the graduate school faculty at UT Southwestern.  They will gain experience in modern research techniques and have a chance to plan and execute an experimental strategy to answer a scientific question. The program will introduce students to the sorts of projects encountered during postgraduate research training.  At the end of the semester, fellows will present their research in a research forum.  In addition to intensive research, Green Fellows will attend lectures and seminars on the UT Southwestern campus.  Green Fellows will be selected by the faculty mentors and assigned to a research project according to each fellow's previous training and research interests.  Green Fellows will be concurrently enrolled in undergraduate research at the University of Texas - Dallas (UTD), but must be available full-time to participate in research at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas over an entire semester.
