>Friends,

>Our summer NSF-funded Plant Genomics Internship (PGI) program still 
>has 3-5 slots!  I will continue to accept applications for the next 
>few weeks until the slots are filled.
>
>The program runs June 1-July 31, provides a $3400 stipend to the 
>student, and we cover the students room & board and transportation 
>to/from Columbia, Missouri. Since this is an NSF-funded program, the 
>student must be a citizen or permanent resident and currently 
>enrolled in college (i.e., graduating seniors are not eligble).
>
>We have excellent research opportunities in plant sciences and 
>genetics at MU.  Our just released annual report from the 
>Interdisciplinary Plant Group (IPG) demonstrates the quality of work 
>our faculty are doing and the collegiality of the IPG community on 
>campus 
> (<http://ipg.missouri.edu/annual_report.php>http://ipg.missouri.edu/annual_report.php). 
> Speaking as the Undergraduate Research Program Director, I can tell 
>you that our faculty mentors in this program are among THE BEST on 
>campus!   (2 of the 4 faculty recognized as Outstanding 
>undergraduate research mentors from across the ENTIRE campus in 2008 
>& 2009 were plant sciences mentors).  A list of participating labs 
>can be found on page 4 of the attached "All Summer 2010 Info Pack" 
>document.   
>
>PGI Students are participants in our larger summer internship 
>program which I estimate will be about 70 students this year.  We 
>have a wide menu of over 30 educational and social activities for 
>students to participate in. Students will get the best of both 
>worlds...a great research environment with faculty in the 
>departments of biology, biochemistry, plant sciences and computer 
>sciences AND the opportunity to interact with other students from a 
>broad array of life sciences disciplines (biomedical research, 
>ecology, animal sciences, cell & molecular biology, chemistry and 
>biochemistry, bioengineering, etc).
>
>If you know of any undergraduate who might be interested, have them 
>complete the attached application (pages 7-8 of the attached 
>document) and e-mail it and supporting documents to 
><>ugr at missouri.edu (or fax to 573-884-9395).  I will be accepting 
>applications until all slots are filled.

>Thanks!
