The Summer Research Experience
The MHIRT scholars will travel to the foreign site and spend 10 weeks conducting research in the laboratory of their foreign research advisor. The foreign research advisor will be responsible for the scientific conduct of the work and having a suitable project and a properly equipped and safe laboratory equipment. The CSU faculty mentor will visit the laboratory to confirm that this is so and to deal with any problems or concerns that might arise. When appropriate, in consultation with the foreign research director and the MHIRT scholar, the CSU faculty mentor will identify and provide any extra instruction that might be needed with regard to safety, experimental design, interpretation of data, and use of various computer packages for the analysis of data. The mentor will also help the students with their projects on ethics and minority health issues. The foreign institutions, research projects proposed, and foreign mentors are described in this website. |
