Graduate Summer Scholar Program - Application due Mar. 1

By Anonymous -
We are delighted to open applications for the 2018 Graduate Summer Scholars Program! 

Now in its sixth year, the UCLA Blum Center Summer Scholars Program supports training and field experience for graduate student research in Latin America on issues related to poverty and improved health outcomes. Through this program, graduate students live and work in a region of Latin America and work with universities, international institutions and/or community organizations involved in activities focused on improving health and social conditions of local populations. 

Each student will be mentored both by a faculty member from their respective university and a representative from the sponsoring host organization in Latin America.  

Summer scholars have engaged in research covering a range of interests including: chronic disease epidemiology and treatment; resource allocation for low-income communities; prevalence of depression and other mental health conditions; criminal activity analyses and policy implications; the effects of transportation on well-being. 

Up to six graduate students will be selected for 2018 Summer Scholars Program and receive a $4000 stipend to help cover transportation costs (air and ground), lodging and meals.  

Please circulate the following documents in your department: Call for Applications and Application. Applications are due March 1st, 2018.

 
More information on the program and both documents are also available for download at https://blumcenter.ucla.edu/xowiki/summer_intern
