<div><b><br></b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>1. Women and Underrep Minorities in Science: UC Berkeley Funded One Week Summer Science Workshop</b></div><p>APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR UC Berkeley's exciting summer 7-day program:</p>
<p>EXPLORATIONS IN SCIENCE RESEARCH workshop (EiSR)</p><p>Students will receive support to cover travel expenses to attend the workshop as well as full room and board.</p><p>Quantitatively-inclined undergraduates are strongly encouraged to apply!</p>
<p>EiSR will be held June 15-June 23 at UC Berkeley. Apply by April 2, 2013.</p><p>For application information: <a>http://scienceconnections.<wbr />berkeley.edu/</a></p><p>2013 is the International Year for the Mathematics of the Earth. This National Science Foundation-sponsored workshop will focus on the (unsolved) puzzle of the contemporary carbon cycle.</p>
<p>Our short program is designed to encourage and help prepare students to attend graduate school in the sciences. It is aimed at undergraduates who are rising juniors or seniors. Students will learn how earth & planetary scientists approach large, complex problems and how new research, instruments, data, and analytic tools are producing results at the nexus of science, public understanding and policymaking. Students will gain a basic understanding of computing and visualization tools.</p>
<p>Applicants are expected to have some basic quantitative skills, including a freshman or sophomore level background in calculus and physics. Undergraduates majoring in earth & planetary science, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, statistics, engineering are all encouraged to apply. One of this program's top priorities is broadening participation in science. Women and underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Only US citizens and permanent residents will be considered. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Support for EiSR is provided by the National Science Foundation-Innovation Through Institutional Integration program: Berkeley Science Connections.</p>

</span></div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px">Currently PREP is accepting applications for the 2013-2014 cohort. PREP stands for Post-baccalaureate Research and Education Program and is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) training program. PREP is designed to enhance the ability of <b>under-represented individuals in the biomedical sciences </b>to gain entry to and succeed in nationally recognized Ph.D. programs.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px">This program is for recent graduates who want to continue their education specifically in the biomedical sciences. PREP’s main benefit is to engage the scholar in cutting edge research for one full year with a faculty mentor of their choice. We also offer many other benefits, such as, annual salary, health/dental benefits, GRE preparation classes, tuition for academic courses, travel support to attend conferences and social and cultural activities.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px">The eligibility requirements for this program are as followed: The applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and be a member of a group that is found to be under-represented in the biomedical sciences. A person who feels they are from a challenging or disadvantage background must be a recipient of a Bachelor’s degree within the 36 months prior to the time of acceptance into the program. Also, the person must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (out of 4.0). Demonstrate commitment to pursuing a Ph.D. in a biomedical research field and have little or no research laboratory experience.</span></div>
