The Epidemiology Branch of the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) and the Institute of Human Development and Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) are jointly hosting their second Annual NICHD-IHDCYH Summer Institute in Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology from July 30 to August 5, 2006 at the Hyatt-Regency Chesapeake Bay, Cambridge (MD). Graduate students, postdoctoral and clinical fellows interested in a research career in Reproductive or Perinatal Epidemiology are invited to apply. The week-long Summer Institute will provide substantive and methodologic training in human fecundity and fertility, pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, maternal health, fetal growth and development, developmental disabilities, and promising new approaches for studying these outcomes. A combined didactic and case-based curriculum will be offered by faculty affiliated with NICHD and IHDCYH.
Participants will be awarded a travel stipend (up to $1,500 USD); room, lodging and transportation will be covered. Subject to availability, up to 20 qualified students will be selected. Interested students and fellows are invited to submit: a brief (2-page) cover letter stating your professional status and goals with regard to Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology, curriculum vitae and two letters of support. All documents must be received by March 1, 2006. Applications will be reviewed by a central committee based on: 1) personal statement of professional research interests and career plans; 2) evidence of graduate level training in epidemiology and biostatistics; and 3) letters of support. Applicants for the 2005 Summer Institute can resubmit their 2005 letters of support (if still applicable). Priority will be given to students/fellows with demonstrated excellence such as practical research experience or publications in this field. Selection will be made by April 15, 2006.
