3. I am not currently enrolled in a program leading to a Master’s or PhD degree in biomedical research.
4. I understand that my MSSRP project must be at least 56 sequential days (8 weeks) long. Any exceptions must have prior approval, in writing, from the appropriate MSSRP Director of the program in which I have committed to.
5. I understand that if I receive MSSRP funding, I may not accept any other summer funding from the University of Alabama at Birmingham during the time of my MSSRP experience without the prior approval, in writing, of the appropriate MSSRP Director of the program in which I have committed to.
