2012 ORLAC Summer Research Grant Information
ORLAC is restarting its Summer Research Grants Program for 2012 to foster musculoskeletal research performed by young investigators! This year, there are three opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students as well as residents, fellows, and medical students, from the United States and abroad, that you won't want to miss!
It is really simple to apply for one of the three awards.
An application consists of the following:
- Name of specific award, your address + other contact information, and mentor in a cover letter
- A one page description of the objectives including a description of the project
- Transcript (applicant must be a student during award period) - if applicable
- Resumé or CV
- Letter of recommendation from a faculty or industry member
- Budget for the designated amount
Application materials must be assemble into a single PDF file and emailed to: genesis1@pitt.edu
Application Deadline: April 12, 2012
The awardees and their mentors will be contacted through email by May 18, 2012 regarding funding decisions. Award letters and checks will be subsequently mailed to each mentor. Checks for the designated amount of the specific award will be made out to the laboratory in which the work is to be conducted, with the understanding that the funds are to be used in support of the awardee's research.
That's all there is to it. So, what are you waiting for? Have a great summer in research!
