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
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.

Program Summary
The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh has a two-year VascTrain post-doctoral research program to support basic science or clinical research training as part of a career in academic vascular surgery. Basic science trainees will start with an introduction to basic/translational research methods followed by a mentored research experience. Those interested in clinical research will take coursework designed for outcomes, population based, and translational research with the option to obtain a Masters degree. This will be followed by mentored research.
Trainees must be MD or MD/PhD with interests in academic vascular surgery. Trainees with a PhD must demonstrate a strong interest in vascular biology.
The VascTrain program is supported by an NIH training grant for the training of academic vascular surgeon-scientists. The focus areas in basic research include endothelial biology, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide vascular therapy, angiogenesis, wound healing, bioengineering of vascular grafts, aortic aneurysm modeling, and innate immunity. For those interested in clinical research, the emphasis will be placed on translational skills, comparative effectiveness, and population based analyses. These trainees will benefit from degree and nondegree programs through our Institute of Clinical Research Education.
