SRA Mentors Needed
As part of the Student Research Award Program, students are paired with research mentors.  Responsibilities include assisting the applicant with the development of a research project plan, and then if the applicant is successful, overseeing the research project and providing career guidance and support.  Mentors/labs receive a $1,000 stipend. If you are willing to serve as a mentor, please email Terri Holzen, tholzen@versiti.org,  at your earliest convenience, and include your research area (platelets, coagulation & fibrinolysis, vascular biology, thrombotic or hemorrhagic disorders) and whether your focus is clinical, basic, translational, epidemiology or public health.
