Summer Fellowships in Genome Sciences and Policy

May 30th - August 4th 2006

Engage in revolutionary research through the 10
week Summer Fellowship program within the
interdisciplinary Duke Institute for Genome
Sciences & Policy (IGSP).  Gain an appreciation
of major questions in genome sciences and policy
currently under investigation within the IGSP
through faculty-mentored research projects as
well as additional scheduled activities
including: weekly lunch-lectures with faculty,
science career suppers, IGSP seminars, student
research discussions, planned social activities,
and the end of summer research presentations.

There are numerous research interests and
projects within the IGSP.  Faculty-mentor
matching attempts to incorporate the selected
students' research interests.  Summer research
foci may include: population, cardiovascular,
cancer, computational, environmental,
evolutionary, structural or functional genomics.
In addition participants will be exposed to
genome ethics topics including intellectual
property, race and society, and law and policy
development.

Application and Eligibility
The Summer Fellowships in Genome Sciences and
Policy are open to current Freshman and Sophomore
students from 4-year colleges and universities
having successfully completed (or currently
enrolled in) at least one biological sciences
course. This program is supported primarily
through an REU grant from the National Science
Foundation which requires that participants be
citizens or permanent residents of the United
States. We welcome applications from all students
and encourage women and individuals from minority
groups to apply.  Up to 12 students will be
selected based on their academic record,
statement of interest and letter of
recommendation from a faculty member of their
home academic institution.

Stipend and Housing
Student participants will be housed in Duke
University residence facilities, most likely the
Central Campus, for the duration of the program.
In addition to housing, students will receive a
stipend of $3,500.


More information, including program flyers and
application materials, may be found at our web
