2007 FSRRN Summer Research Internship
The FSRRN offers summer research internships for qualified students to promote career opportunities in food-safety research. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in a professional veterinary curriculum or food-safety-related undergraduate or graduate program. To apply students must identify an FSRRN team member as a sponsor. FSRRN team members are listed on the FSRRN web site (www.fsrrn.net). The internship can be conducted in an FSRRN team laboratory or at a participating federal or commodity stakeholder laboratory. The goal of each project should be the publication of a manuscript describing the project in a peer-reviewed journal.
The FSRRN team sponsor will work cooperatively with the student in their laboratory, or with a research mentor at participating federal agencies (e.g. CDC) to guide the student's research efforts. Internships require a minimum 6-10 week commitment during which students will be selected for employment with federal agencies and FSRRN laboratories engaged in food safety research. During 2007 we are offering 12 stipends of $4,500 to assist with living expenses, and travel incurred during the 6-10 week internship
Participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the internship and for making their own housing arrangements.

Applications must be submitted by 1 March 2007.
