The fellowship emphasizes acquiring and applying knowledge of the drivers of persistent poverty and their impact on health, developing skills in research methods used in community settings to design and implement interventions against obesity-related cancers, and fostering professional skills of scientist-advocates for success.
The Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium at Rice University provides undergraduate researchers the opportunity to present original research discoveries to scholars from around the world. Participants give 12-to-15-minute individual presentations, after which faculty mentors give feedback to each student.
The University of Texas at Austin is hosting a symposium designed to help undergraduate students understand and prepare for a STEM graduate program. During the two-day event, students will be able to present research and get constructive feedback from UT faculty, tour state-of-the-art facilities and meet working researchers, network with UT faculty and graduate students, and learn about the graduate school experience and application process. Transportation, accommodation, and meals will be covered. Applications from individuals in traditionally underrepresented populations are strongly encouraged. Apply at txsci.net/g2s2app
