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

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
A component of The University of Texas System, MD Anderson is one of the nation's leading cancer research and treatment centers dedicated to patient care, research, education and prevention.
The purpose of this 10-week program is to interest and challenge qualified college students in biomedical research as it relates to cancer. The program provides firsthand research experience in various areas of cancer research. It also points out the varied career opportunities available in the biomedical sciences.
2011 Summer Research Program for College Students begins on May 31, 2011 and concludes on August 5, 2011.
Curriculum
Each student selected for the program is given an opportunity to conduct a research project in one of the biomedical disciplines under the guidance of a full-time member of the MD Anderson faculty. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the basic principles that form the foundation of scientific investigation.
During the program, students work in MD Anderson laboratories five days a week, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The majority of this time is spent in hands-on research. The work provides participants with a clear idea of what it means to be a biomedical researcher and the discipline required. The laboratory experience is supplemented by seminars presented by faculty on a wide variety of research topics.
At the end of the program, each student will prepare an oral and written report of his or her activities for presentation to fellow students and his or her research sponsors.
Participants in the program receive a stipend of $4,000 for the 10-week period. The stipend is not a salary; it is meant solely to subsidize students so that they may participate in the program.
Housing
Accommodations for out-of-town students are usually available in university dorms a short walking distance from MD Anderson. Students will be asked to indicate on the application if they will need housing. Responsibility for housing, however, rests solely with each student.

Program Summary
The Short-Term Education Program for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP) was created by the Office of Minority Health Research Coordination (OMHRC) in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). NIDDK is NIH’s fifth largest Institute. The STEP-UP Program was developed in order to expose underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students to research in the NIDDK mission areas including diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and digestive, liver, urologic, kidney, and hematologic diseases. The long term goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students “in the pipeline” who are committed to a career in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, or social science research in the NIDDK mission areas.
To accomplish this goal, the NIDDK STEP-UP program provides research education grants to seven institutions for the support of a high school or undergraduate program that provides eligible students with research education and training opportunities that will develop both their research capabilities and their interest in pursuing a career in research. These seven institutions provide administrative support for the STEP-UP program and its student participants throughout the application process and the summer research experience.
