<blockquote type="cite" cite>I would like to make you aware of an
exciting opportunity for your undergraduate students - the Summer in
Biomedical Science (SIBS) Undergraduate Research Program
2010.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>This summer, the Departments of
Environmental Health Sciences, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genetics,
Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Physiology and Biophysics,
Pharmacology and Toxicology, and the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal
Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are sponsoring an
eight week program in which selected undergraduate students will
conduct laboratory research under the guidance of individual UAB
faculty members.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Student recipients of this competitive
fellowship receive a stipend of $2000 for the summer. Students
will receive free on-campus housing but will be responsible for their
own meals, travel to and from Birmingham, and other expenses.
The program dates will be May 31 - July 23, 2010. The
application deadline is March 12, 2010.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We expect applicants to SIBS to have
completed at least their sophomore year of undergraduate coursework.
We anticipate that successful candidates will typically demonstrate
grade point averages of 3.0 ("B") or higher, especially in
science, math, and related areas.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Our goal in offering this fellowship is
to give talented students the opportunity to experience the challenges
and rewards of intensive, hypothesis-drive laboratory research.
This experience should help students make well informed decisions
about future career plans. Previous research experience is not
required. We especially welcome applications from students who
are interested in research as a potential career, including students
interested in PhD and MD/PhD programs.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>I would like to thank you in advance for
posting our SIBS flyer (attached to this email as a pdf file) and
distributing the information to the appropriate students in your
department. Students can learn more about SIBS and obtain the
Application Form online at <a
