MUSC’s College of Graduate Studies has openings in its 1998 summer research fellowship for graduate students enrolled in the colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Health Professions.

The program goal is to introduce students in the health professions to the biomedical research field while training under a supervised laboratory setting. Eligible students must be enrolled in a professional graduate program and possess a 2.8 GPA. In addition, students may participate in this program at any point of their coursework, but may not hold other MUSC employment throughout the duration of this award.

Students will be paid $240 a week for 10-12 weeks for their work. An allowance of $350 will be provided to the host laboratory for supplies. Students registered with at least 15 credit hours will receive a pass/fail grade for their laboratory work. These hours will not be included in the calculation of class rank.

Applications and further information can be obtained from Hester Young, College of Graduate Studies, Room 601, Clinical Services Building, 792-9620. Applications should be completed jointly with the student’s research sponsor. A final progress report, presentation of the research results and participation in University Student Research Day are required upon completion of the program. Sponsors are also required to submit a brief progress report. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 13.

Only official applications will be accepted. Students will be notified of final selections by Monday, March 16.
