Student Summer Research Opportunities Abound
 

In summer 2003, NYUCD welcomed the first group of five students selected to receive research training annually at NYUCD under a five-year NIH grant for minority predoctoral dental students from NYU, Howard University, Tuskegee University, and the University of Puerto Rico. In addition to repeating the program in summer 2004 with a new group of students, NYUCD also introduced two other student summer research training programs, bringing the number of research students in summer residence from 5 to 18, a more than threefold increase.

The two additional programs are:
