This summer, the Departments of Environmental Health Sciences, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genetics, Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Physiology and Biophysics, and Pharmacology and Toxicology and the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are sponsoring a 8-week program in which selected undergraduate students will conduct laboratory research under the guidance of individual UAB faculty members. Student recipients of this competitive fellowship receive a stipend of $2000 for the summer. Students will receive free on campus housing, but will be responsible for their own meals, travel to and from Birmingham, and other expenses. The program dates will be June 1, 2009-July 24, 2009.
