[Biology-U-L] MIT Summer Research Program

[Biology Undergraduate List]

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Graduate Students Office at the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology will host its annual *MIT Summer Research Program* from early 
June to mid-August of 2007.

The MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP), an institutional effort that 
began in 1986, facilitates the involvement of talented students in 
research aspects of the fields of engineering and science, particularly 
those who are underrepresented in these fields. This summer program 
seeks to identify talented sophomores and juniors from around the 
country who could benefit from spending a summer on MIT's campus, 
working in a research laboratory under the tutelage and guidance of 
experienced scientists and engineers.

The program features supervision by an MIT faculty member, postdoctoral 
fellow or advanced graduate student; weekly seminars/workshops; 
preparation and delivery of a research poster and an oral presentation; 
individual counseling on academic careers; hands-on training in active, 
"real-world" laboratories; and participation in social and cultural 
activities in the area.

We are writing to ask for you assistance in identifying college minority 
undergraduates (particularly African-American, Puerto Rican, Mexican 
American and American Indian/Alaskan Native students) interested in 
science and engineering who would benefit from a 10-week 
research-intensive summer program. Applicant requirements (and the 
online application) can be found on the web at web.mit.edu/gso/msrp 
<http://www.web.mit.edu/gso/msrp>.

I have attached an application to this email. Applications can also be 
downloaded from the web at web.mit.edu/gso/msrp 
<http://www.web.mit.edu/gso/msrp>. Each student must complete the 
application and return it as soon as possible but at the very latest by 
January 31, 2007.

All applications that are not completed online should be mailed to:

MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP)

Room 3-138

Cambridge, MA 02139-4307
