Apply to the Center of Excellence on Health Disparities' Undergraduate
Research Training Program


The goals of the COE's Undergraduate Research Training Program are to:

health disparities;
*	Increase the numbers of undergraduate students from
under-represented and disadvantaged groups performing basic, clinical
and/or bio-behavioral research; and
*	Expand the capacity and competence of UC Merced in conducting
health sciences research that address health disparities in the region.

The eight week summer program will run from June 13 through August 5th
2011 and includes:

*	A two-week 'academic boot camp' followed by six weeks working on
current research with a faculty mentor;
*	Professional skills training such as ethics and responsible
conduct of research; preparation for graduate school; creating a CV; and
professional presentation skills;
*	Engagement in community-oriented research that focuses on
various health disparities, and how research can help reduce these
disparities;
*	An understanding of how issues such as race, ethnicity, gender
and poverty can affect an individual's health and life chances; and
*	Payment of ~$2400 for the summer program (URTP interns will
continue their research during the following academic year as a paid
COEHD researcher.) 

The deadline for applications is March 18th, 2011. For more information
