>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.
>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.
>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.
>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.
>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.
>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 <http://www.uab.edu/sibs>www.uab.edu/sibs or by contacting 
>me at <mailto:rlorenz at uab.edu>rlorenz at uab.edu.
