Deadline: Tues, April 8, 2008

Download application here.

The Microbial Sciences Initiative (MSI) at Harvard University invites fellowship applications from Harvard undergraduate students who are planning to carry out research during the summer break.  Students should first contact an MSI-associated faculty member to assure acceptance into their laboratory during the summer. 

The application is to be completed by the students in close collaboration with the faculty sponsor.  For a full list of MSI-associated faculty, see URL.  Ten fellowships, each for up to $4000, for the summer of 2008 will be awarded.  Students are encouraged to apply for other sources of funding, and, if successful, will be eligible to receive supplemental funding from MSI up to an overall total of $4,000.  Students are also encouraged to apply to PRISE, and, if admitted, will be eligible for supplemental support of $2,000. 

Application forms, with instructions, can be downloaded by clicking here and must be sent electronically to herren@fas.harvard.edu by Tues, April 8, 2008 along with an email message from the faculty mentor indicating support for the application.  Awards will be announced before the end of April.  Please direct any questions regarding undergraduate fellowships to msi-info@hms.harvard.edu.
