Translational Obesity Undergraduate Research (TOUR) Scholars Program

Funded by an NIH R25 Research Education Grant, and under the umbrella of the Center for Transformative Research on Health Behaviors, the TOUR-Scholars Program is a research-intensive summer experience which prepares students for graduate and medical education in translational obesity research.

TOUR-Scholars will be matched with a faculty mentor, working across the obesity translational spectrum. Ten students will be chosen to participate.

Each student will receive a $5250 stipend, and participate in workshops, site visits to laboratories where translational research is ongoing (including a daytrip to the NIH), and presentation in the annual VT Summer Research Symposium.

Applications are due on January 11, 2019.
