Ohio State Announces Summer SUCCESS Program to Encourage BioMedical Education

The Medical Scientist Training Program at The Ohio State University is currently accepting applications to its undergraduate summer SUCCESS Program.  Over the course of this nine-week program, students will participate in a fully-funded, enriching research experience.  The program is open to any sophomore, junior or non-graduating senior enrolled in any four-year college. The SUCCESS program seeks to identify outstanding students interested in the biomedical sciences with the goal of pursuing graduate education (MD/PhD or PhD).  It further seeks to foster diversity in graduate study in the biomedical and biological sciences as reflected in culture, class, race, ethnicity, background, work, and life experiences. The program especially encourages applications from African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and others whose backgrounds and experiences would bring diversity to the field.

The Medical Scientist Training Program is an NIH-funded program involving rigorous training in both clinical medicine and basic research that leads to both the MD and PhD degrees.

While taking part in the SUCCESS Program, students will take valuable professional development courses and learn from engaged mentors; all while working in state-of-the-art research facilities.

Deadline for application is March 1, 2012.
