2. Application
1. Cover page to include the title of the project, dates of the proposed project period and the names of the student and faculty member.
2. A short research proposal (no more than 4 pages) to contain the following sections: background and significance, hypothesis, objectives for the summer, a brief description of approaches and methodologies, and a bibliography. The bibliography does not count toward the 4 page limit. The objectives should clearly indicate how this proposal will provide a quality research experience for the student. We are not interested in funding proposals, no matter how meritorious they may be scientifically, if the student is not provided with a quality learning experience that allows them to make an informed decision regarding whether or not to consider a research-oriented career in Veterinary Medicine. The research proposal should be written from the student perspective, with mentor involvement and assistance, but should not be copied verbatim from a mentor’s grant or website.
3. The budget page should list related research costs outside of the student’s fellowship (provided by this program), such as approximate costs of supplies, user fees, and experimental animals. The purpose of including the budget is to provide the student with an idea of the cost of research. If animals are to be used in the experiments, the RARC animal protocol number or evidence that application for approval has been made must be noted on this sheet. The faculty advisor must also obtain appropriate approval for the use of radioactive materials and/or biological hazards. Note: All costs except the student fellowship must be covered by the faculty mentor!
4. A page containing the following statement, signed by the faculty mentor must also be included: “I have read this proposal and agree to supervise the project outlined by this student. I understand that this fellowship only provides salary support for the student. I understand that I am responsible for providing the remaining funding and other costs as noted in the budget and can assure the committee that these funds are on hand. I also understand that I must participate in the “summer seminar” for NIH Boehringer Ingelheim Scholars.”
5. The faculty mentor must include a listing of current research support. Please include the following information: title of project, agency, role on project (PI or co-PI), dates of project, and direct costs of project for the entire time period.
6. In a letter accompanying the proposal, the student should discuss her/his motivation for examining research as a career option. This letter should include a description of previous research experience, if any.
7. The student is expected to write a paper in journal style (your choice of journal) and submit it on or before April 30, 2019. The student will present the results of their research at Research Day in April 2018. Presentations can be made in oral or poster format.
8. Students funded by Boehringer Ingelheim must attend the 2019 National NIH Boehringer Ingelheim Symposium to be held at Tufts University. Funding for travel will be provided for those supported by Boehringer Ingelheim and the NIH; however, other sources of travel support are not guaranteed. Students attending the Symposium are strongly encouraged to present a poster describing their project. Students presenting posters will receive priority if travel funds are limited.
