AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship

CLOSED

Program Summary

The AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows work for 10 weeks during the summer as reporters, researchers, and production assistants in mass media organizations nationwide. Fellows collaborate with media professionals at radio and television stations, newspapers, and magazines. As part of their job, the student-scientists and their host-journalists strive to make science news easy for the public to understand.

The fellowship program is designed to enhance coverage of science-related issues in the media in order to improve public understanding and appreciation of science and technology. Fellows have the opportunity to observe and participate in the process by which events and ideas become news, improve their communication skills by learning to describe complex technical subjects in a manner understandable to the lay public, and increase their understanding of editorial decision making and the way in which information is effectively disseminated. The program has supported more than 500 Fellows.

Program Summary

This clinical shadowing program identifies minority medical students who may have a specific interest in services related to substance abuse treatment/prevention and provide a setting where the student can work closely with a mentor who specializes in addiction psychiatry for one month.

Ten medical students will spend one month during their summer break working with a mentor at a designated site where they will get a hands-on look at how psychiatrists treat patients and participate in an interactive didactic experiential learning program.

Program Goals:
The goals of the program are to cultivate medical student interest in serving minority and underserved populations and to recruit minorities into psychiatry. It is designed to expose ethnic minority medical students to a setting where they can work closely with a psychiatrist mentor who specializes in addiction psychiatry. Mentors and sites are selected where there is an approved substance abuse training program and a significant number of substance abuse patients are from minority and underserved groups.
The work settings will be chosen on the basis of their availability and emphasis on working clinically with or studying underserved minority populations and issues of co-occurring disorders, substance abuse treatment and prevention and mental health disparity. Most will be inner-city or rural settings. Emphasis will also be placed on programs which are certified by the Accreditation Council in General Medical Education (ACGME), although the program is not limited to these. This program will not only provide a role model, but also a positive view of how important psychiatric services, particularly addiction psychiatry are to minority populations. The student will be required not only to shadow their mentor but also have a one to two hour one-on-one supervision per week. The mentors and mentees will be encouraged to keep in contact after the summer experience.

Program Summary

This program is intended to provide the highest quality experience for first-year medical school students pursuing interests in oncology research.

While the program has traditionally been designed for students who have completed their first year of medical school, highly qualified undergraduates majoring in the health science fields may be considered.

The students are paid a weekly stipend of $300 for a minimum of six weeks or maximum of ten weeks. A limited amount of funds are available as reimbursement for travel and housing on a case-by-case basis for those students from outside the greater Los Angeles area. While participating in the program, students will be expected to attend a lecture series held at the hospital on aspects of pediatric oncology designed specifically for them and will be encouraged to attend other scientific lectures in their area of research.

Application Information

Please consult the website by clicking the program title for the most current application materials.

Each year, the program's executive committee reviews and selects approximately 20 applicants by early March.

Students are asked to designate five areas of interest on their application. This information is then considered when matching accepted students with their mentors. Potential mentors review the accepted students' applications in their selected areas of interest and make selections from this pool. The mentors may then contact the students directly or through the Summer Oncology Program Coordinator. If an accepted student wishes to work with a specific mentor, the Coordinator will inform the faculty member of the interest and forward to him/her the student's application for review.

After a match has been made, the mentor approves the fellow's project and supervises the student throughout the fellowship period. The fellow's project should have a well-defined objective, as he/she will need to give a brief written and oral presentation at the end of the summer and could result in a scientific abstract and/or publication.

Program Summary

The NASA Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP) is an Agency-wide fellowship program (also called GSRP Training Grants in what follows) for graduate study leading to masters or doctoral degrees in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering related to NASA research and development. In 2011, NASA is expanding GSRP to include students that are interested in becoming teachers or education administrators. This twelve month award requires students to participate in a 10-week NASA Headquarters or Center-based research experience at HQ or Center extending the GSRP Fellowship.

The goal of NASA's GSRP is to cultivate additional research ties to the academic community, to help meet the continuing needs of the Nation's aeronautics and space workforce requirements by increasing the number of highly trained scientists and engineers in aeronautics and space-related disciplines, and to meet the Nation's need to increase the number of highly trained teachers.

The program will support approximately 140 graduate students annually. NASA scientists and engineers evaluate applications on the basis of academic transcripts, research proposals, faculty advisor recommendations, and the proposed utilization of NASA center or university research facilities.

Viet Nam Medical Assistance Program CLOSED

Program Summary

The Viet Nam Medical Assistance Program (VNMAP) began as an inspiring vision from two Vietnamese professional students at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and the Philadelphia School of Osteopathic Medicine who wanted to improve the health and awareness of the Vietnamese population. In 2007, their dream became a reality when the first medical mission served at Dien Khanh Hospital in the southern Vietnamese province of Khanh Hoa. The mission team has grown since then from 11 members to a 20-member team this past summer. The 2009 group traveled to nine different sites in the Lam Dong Province operating clinics to treat and educate the underprivileged population. Over the course of nine days, the team saw over 1,700 patients with conditions ranging from anemia and malnutrition to arthritis and scabies.

VNMAP is developing exponentially to include an ever-increasing number of students and professionals dedicated to providing health education to the Vietnamese community in the United States and Viet Nam. The organization’s ultimate goal is to make continual improvements each year that steadily enrich the lives of the residents in rural areas of Viet Nam who do not receive adequate healthcare. In reaching our goal, our emphasis is on creating educational opportunities for our team members that will be beneficial to their professional aspirations. We strive to improve leadership skills and promote teamwork through assigned projects and committees. The medical mission provides learning opportunities relevant to medical care through working in clinics and visiting hospitals. Additionally, a better understanding of the local health system and public health in Vietnam is acquired through participation in our ongoing health survey.

As a volunteer during the 2008 summer mission and a current Director on the Board of Directors, I have a firm belief in this organization’s ability to improve healthcare and awareness in Viet Nam. I am proud of the progress that we have made and the people that we have helped. In forming our team for the upcoming mission for the summer of 2011, we are looking forward to gaining new members who have the dedication and spirit to help advance the impact that the Viet Nam Medical Assistance Program will generate. Please visit our website (www.vnmap.org) for more information. Our current application for student members is now available online and the deadline is January 1st, 2011.
