1. Select a
lab to host your summer internship
Browse the
listings of principal investigators on the MORPH lab
pages. The MORPH training grants may be used to send you
to any of these labs, even the international ones.
2. Contact
the researcher whose work interests you.
Any of the
researchers listed on the MORPH lab pages should be acquainted
with MORPH grants. Email one or more researchers to express
your interest. You might refer them to the grant
guidelines and remind them that, by NSF rules, these funds
may not be used to cover costs associated with the proposed
research activities (e.g., supplies). Once you have found a
researcher willing to host you, have him/her write a letter
of support and send it to Professor William (Ned) Friedman
at: ned@colorado.edu
3. Get a letter
of recommendation.
Ask a biology
professor from your home institution to write a letter of recommendation
and send it to Professor William (Ned) Friedman at: ned@colorado.edu
4. Write a
brief proposal
This should
be a brief statement, at most 2 pages, detailing the research
you intend to carry out in the host lab during your 10-week
internship. The principal investigator in your host lab can
probably provide you with guidance in preparing this statement.
5. Submit your
application
Send the
above materials electronically to Professor William (Ned) Friedman
at: ned@colorado.edu.
If you are unable to send materials via email, mail them to:

William (Ned) Friedman
