Maine INBRE
The INBRE program of the National Institutes of Health will provide summer fellowships for four students to engage in faculty-mentored biomedical research during the summer of 2009. The summer fellowships are a part of the Maine INBRE program, which focuses on research in the general area of comparative functional genomics. Students will receive a stipend of $4000 and subsidized college housing to cover a ten week summer research project, as well as funds to cover research supplies. On campus housing is on a first come first served basis.
Interested students should discuss potential research projects with willing faculty sponsors in the biological sciences (Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience).
Fellowship Application: Biological Sciences 2009
Applicants should submit parts A, B, & C of the application form to Julie Santorella, in the Biology Department Office by Tuesday, February 24, 2009. This electronic (pdf) application consists of student information, a 2 page description of the research project, a copy of your academic transcript, a letter of support from the faculty sponsor, and a supplies budget.
During the summer, INBRE Fellows will participate in a series of informal research presentations. At the end of the summer, they will submit a summary of the completed project; they will then present their summer research in a poster session early in the fall semester.
