StarLab is currently
talking applications for

StarLab Summer Science
Program is a science
program designed to
introduce middle school
and high school students
to the many careers
offered in public health
and biomedical sciences.
This six-week program is
sponsored by the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the
Association of Minority
Health Professions
Schools (AMHPS), in
collaboration with the
National Organization of
Black Chemists and
Chemical Engineers
(NOBBChE). Annually, the
program brings together
40-50 students from the
metro-Atlanta area.
Students are introduced
to basic science
methodology including
laboratory
demonstrations and hands
on laboratory
experiments. Topics
introduced include
chemistry, biology,
medical technology and
engineering. Through
this program AMHPS, CDC
and NOBBChE seek to
cultivate a new
generation of scientists
and scholars who will
address the complex
nature of public health
disparities among
minority communities.
The application deadline
for new students is
April 14, 2008.
Invitations to returning
students have already
been mailed and must be
returned by April 10,

Public Health Summer
Fellows
Atlanta GA (June 5–
August 1, 2008)
The Public Health Summer
Fellowship Program is a
collaboration among
Emory University’s
Rollins School of Public
Health, Morehouse School
of Medicine, the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the
Association of Minority
Health Professions
Schools, Inc.. The
program is designed to
introduce and expose
minority students to the
exciting field of public
health. The Public
Health Summer Fellows
program is an
academically rigorous
and intensive eight (8)
week summer program.
Students will experience
firsthand the
excitement, relevance
and promise of careers
in Public Health. The
program commences with a
one-week course to
provide students with a
foundation in the
principles of
epidemiology. The
program then combines
this academic knowledge
with direct hands-on
field experience. Using
the combined resources
of program sponsors and
collaborators, students
are placed into
community based public
health internships.
During this six-week
internship, participants
work with professional
mentors who are at the
forefront of researching
the nation’s priority
public health issues.
Students will
participate in weekly
seminars and learn how
to analyze important
health policy,
programming and research
issues. During the final
week of the program
Fellows participate in a
symposium and provide
oral presentations on
their internship
experiences. For more
