SAMPLE POSTGRAD OPPORTUNITY
Many prehealth students choose to pursue interests through jobs,
internships, fellowships or service programs after college prior to
going on to med or dent or public health school. Career Services has
a huge array of resources to help you find that opportunity. Here is
one interesting research opportunity:
Susan G. Komen for the Cure has extended the Post Baccalaureate
Training in Disparities Research (PBT-DR) pre-application deadline.
Pre-applications are now due no later than October 15, 2009, 8:00 pm
eastern time. The deadline for full application submission remains
November 17, 2009 at 8:00pm eastern time. For both mechanisms,
pre-applications are required prior to starting a full application.
Post-Baccalaureate Training in Disparities Research (PBT-DR) awards
provide an opportunity for individuals early in their education,
particularly those from populations affected by disparities in
breast cancer outcomes, and encourages them to seek careers focused
on understanding and eliminating these disparities. This award
provides individual support of $45,000 annually for 3 years for up
to three trainees.
Requests for Applications (RFA) are available at
www.komen.org/grants or
www.komengrantsaccess.org.
