For

2011-2012 HSTA GRADUATE AND 2012 SUMMER RESEARCH INTERNSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Offered by

West Virginia IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (WV-INBRE)
to be held at the following Institutions:

The WV-INBRE is pleased to offer summer research internships and fellowships to students, high school science educators, and faculty from colleges and universities and high schools participating in the WV-INBRE program. In 2011, the internships to HSTA graduates at the PUIs will be from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012 through the academic year. The summer internship/fellowship period will be from June 11 through August 11, 2012 with the Summer Research Symposium to be held on July 28th at West Virginia University. Listed in this directory are WV-INBRE funded faculty members at our partner institutions who have agreed to participate as mentors to the HSTA graduates at the PUIs and in the summer internship/fellowship program. Each mentor has submitted a description of the project(s) that is (are) available to interns and fellows in his/her laboratory. Please review these carefully so that you are aware of what is available for academic year and summer projects. Some descriptions are more comprehensive than others; therefore, you may want to contact certain mentors for more detail or to ask for clarifications about the opportunities in their labs. In any case, it is a good idea to speak with potential mentors to be sure you understand what will be expected if you work in his/her lab for the summer.
A listing of mentors with a description of their research and the general area of research is presented on page 3. Mentors and project descriptions begin on page 4. Listed for each mentor is an e-mail address, phone number and, where available, a home-page address. The home-page addresses will allow you to learn about the mentors and their research programs.
Separate application forms for high school science educators are available on the WV-INBRE web site (http://www.wv-inbre.net) at a link under 2012 Summer Program. Direct electronic submission is now available and is the preferred method of application. Applications may also be submitted by mail or e-mail.
