Location: Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, 300 South Craig Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
Application deadline: May 16, 2008
A workshop hosted by The National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
Through funding from the National Institutes of Health Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program, The National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing (NRBSC) at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is able to provide internships to a limited number of highly motivated students attending minority serving institutions.
This competitive program enables students to work directly with NRBSC staff in Pittsburgh for five-weeks on the student's research problems, with the goal having a significant start towards a Bioinformatics research publication.
Students are provided lodging, a meal per-diem, round-trip transportation to Pittsburgh and a $3500 stipend for participating in this five week program.
