The Burroughs Wellcome Fund's (BWF) has announced a new institutional
training program-Institutional Program Unifying Population and
Laboratory Based Sciences
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=1015478986&msgid=3749175&act=
NKVM&c=1385&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bwfund.org%2Fprograms%2
Fpopulation_lab_sciences%2Fpup_lab_main.html>  to develop a new cadre of
scientists working at the connections between population approaches to
human health and basic biomedical research.

Awards will provide $500,000 a year for five years in order to stimulate
institutional training programs that partner researchers working in
schools of medicine and schools (or academic divisions) of public
health. Supported programs will train graduate students to the Ph.D.
level, but programs may additionally propose giving training access to
postdoctoral fellows, medical students, medical residents, masters
students, undergraduates, or other kinds of trainees.
Submissions will only be accepted electronically through the
proposalCENTRAL online submission program. Clemson University is
registered in proposalCENTRAL.  Remember to contact your departmental or
college Grant Coordinator early if you plan to submit. The Clemson
University Office of Sponsored Programs' Proposal Processing Form and
all required internal documentation and signatures must be obtained.
Note that F&A costs are not allowed, but appropriate administrative
costs may be included in your proposal, as well as student tuition costs
and fees (see
http://www.bwfund.org/programs/population_lab_sciences/pup_lab_faq.html#
Terms ).

The deadline for electronic receipt of letters of intent is March 3,
2008.  Full program information is available at
