The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Division of Intramural Research (DIR), is seeking applicants for its Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO) program. INRO, currently in its fifth year, is a 5-day exploratory program for underrepresented minority students (i.e., American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders, blacks or African Americans, and Hispanics or Latinos) who are interested in a research career in the areas of allergy, immunology, and infectious diseases. This 5-day program will be held February 4–8 2007, at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Applicants to this highly competitive program should be undergraduate juniors or seniors interested in postbaccalaureate biomedical research, doctoral candidates seeking a postdoctoral training position, and first-year medical students contemplating a year-off research position. Students selected to attend the INRO 2007 program will: learn about the Institute and about training opportunities available at NIAID; listen to scientific lectures by world-renowned NIAID researchers; tour Institute laboratories; interview with principal investigators for potential training positions.
