WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
We are looking for students with a demonstrated commitment to the health of Native American communities, and evidence of motivation to achieve the highest goals possible.
This does not require the highest grades (we do not request transcripts) or the most extensive research background (previous research experience is not required). We do require the following:
- Minimum 1 year of undergraduate studies in a 4-year undergraduate degree program prior to start of program (June)
- Demonstrated interest in careers in medicine, public health, or biomedical sciences
- At least 1 introductory science course (can include biology or chemistry)
- US citizen or non-citizen national with a permanent residence visa
- Not taking the August MCAT (the time constraints of the program do not allow adequate time for studying for this important exam)
- Can provide proof of health insurance coverage.
Four Directions Summer Research Program 2016
Applications open November 1, 2015!
There
is an exciting summer research opportunity at Brigham and Women’s
Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) for undergraduate
students with a commitment to the health of Native American communities.
Since 1994, The Four Directions Summer Research Program (FDSRP) has
brought over 180 students to Boston during this time.
FDSRP will
cover students’ travel costs to and from Boston, provide housing free
of charge, and give them a stipend for the summer.
This is a great opportunity for students to train in the HMS environment. The application deadline is February 8, 2016 and students will be notified of their selection by the first week of March 2016.
Please feel free to contact us at FourDirections@partners.org or call (617) 525-8356 if you have any questions or if you would like us to send FDSRP postcards to your institution.
