Dear Fara and Kay,

Happy New Year! Hope you are both doing well!

I know you all have sent talented OK-LSAMP students, like Kayla Davis, to Harvard summer programs in the past, and wanted to send along some information about a new summer research program in biotechnology at Harvard that I will be running this summer (details below). We are hoping to recruit exceptional young students from colleges and university across the country for this program, and I would personally love to see some OK-LSAMP applicants this cycle!

Harvard University has been named one of ten U.S. institutions that will be offering a ten-week Amgen Scholars Program in the summer of 2015.  This new Harvard program, with an emphasis on biotechnology research, will afford a diverse cohort of rising undergraduate juniors and seniors the opportunity to work in laboratories of faculty across the Harvard campus, including the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Division of Medical Sciences at Harvard Medical School. In addition to an engaging, formative research experience, Harvard-Amgen Scholars will live among over 300 undergraduates residents of the Harvard Summer Undergraduate Research Village community in one of the historic Houses along the Charles River.

I would appreciate it if you would forward this message on my behalf to your undergraduate scientists who may be interested in applying. The deadline to submit complete applications is Monday, February 2, 2015.  More information about the Harvard-Amgen Scholar Program, as well as eligibility criteria and the application process may be found here:  http://uraf.harvard.edu/amgen-scholars.  The Amgen Scholars Program website, which includes information about all of the U.S. and international programs available this coming summer may be found here:  www.amgenscholars.com<http://www.amgenscholars.com/>.

Of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

Best,

Cammi
