The National Research Service Award Predoctoral Fellowship for Minority Students will provide up to five years of support for research training leading to the Ph.D. or equivalent research degree ; the combined M.D. / Ph.D. degree ; or other combined professional degree and research doctoral degree in the biomedical , behavioral sciences , or health services research . As science continues to become more important in our society , we hope that Camp Neuron will not only inspire an interest in science amongst our youth but also encourage them to choose careers in the field . Camp Neuron will provide many young scholars with a chance to explore the world of science through hands-on experience in the lab , as well as personal interaction with real scientists . CAMP NEURON Scheduled for launch in the summer of 2005 , Camp Neuron ( PowerPoint presentation ) is an innovative concept intended to excite some of the brightest young minds in Michigan about science by exposing them to it first-hand . They also share a common intellectual approach that emphasizes mechanistic and experimental strategies to investigate a diverse set of biological problems using a variety of model systems including prokaryotes , yeast , C. elegans , Drosophila , Arabidopsis , Xenopus , zebrafish , chick , and mammals .

Merchant , MD , Ph.D. Molecular mechanisms of gastric epithelial cell growth ; growth factor regulation of normal and neoplastic growth ; transcriptional control of gastrointestinal peptides ; posttranslational modifications of transcription factors ; transgenic models for stomach development ; Helicobacter pylori and peptic ulcer ; gastric cancer development . The NRSA Predoctoral Fellowship for Students with Disabilities will provide up to five years of support for research training leading to the Ph.D. ( or equivalent research degree ) , or the combined M.D. / Ph.D. degree ( or other combined professional research doctoral degrees ) in the biomedical or behavioral sciences .
