Information regarding the 2010 session is now available.

Welcome! The 2010 summer Research Experience in Aging program is generously supported by the Harvey A. Friedman Center for Aging through the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation.   
We will offer six undergraduate students an opportunity to participate in an eight week program beginning on June 7, 2010. 

The program is to attract and expose undergraduates with a special focus to a research career in geriatric healthcare and in secondary interdisciplinary aging research.  It is highly preferred that undergraduate students who apply for this program have a pre-med, nursing, social work, or an allied health major but those with majors in humanities, social sciences, fine arts, engineering, and architecture may also apply.  

The helpful exposure opportunity of the program intends to broaden the students understanding of healthcare fields and to stimulate career interests and choices specific to aging in, most importantly, clinical science but also in basic science.
Students will complete a research project under the guidance of a Washington University Center for Aging faculty mentor. In addition, all 6 students meet together in weekly seminars, tours, an ethics retreat, and a poster session.
