>>Dear Shonool:
>>
>>It was very nice to talk to you earlier today about two new Ph.D. 
>>programs in the biomedical sciences sponsored jointly by the 
>>National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Cambridge and Oxford 
>>Universities in England.  Per our conversation, I'm attaching PDF 
>>files containing a one page program description as well as a list 
>>of "Frequently Asked Questions" for both the NIH-Oxford and 
>>NIH-Cambridge programs.  As you will see,these are unique, 
>>innovative programs designed for top students that enable them to 
>>work in two different laboratories (one at the NIH and one in the 
>>UK) on a collaborative research project.  These programs grew out 
>>of the realization that the next generation of research scientists 
>>will increasingly need to think in an interdisciplinary fashion and 
>>to surmount the intellectual and experimental barriers that 
>>presently exist between traditional disciplines.  Although the 
>>programs were started in 2001 and 2002, they have already attracted 
>>many outstanding applicants from some of the best colleges and 
>>university in the country.  Prospective applicants may be 
>>particularly interested in visiting a terrific website 
>>(http://users.ox.ac.uk/~chri1906/) that was developed by the 
>>students who are currently enrolled in the NIH-Oxford program (a 
>>similar website is under development for the NIH-Cambridge program).
>>
>>I would be extremely grateful if you could disseminate information 
>>about these programs to science/engineering students at MIT who are 
>>interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research as well as 
>>appropriate faculty in the science departments.
>>
>>Many thanks in advance for your help!
>>
>>Best wishes,
