I want to be a NIH-T35 trainee! What can I do?

• Select a summer research project involving heart, lung, blood or immunology / infectious disease. 
• When selecting a mentor, tell the faculty member you are interested in a project involving heart, lung, blood or immunology / infectious disease so you can participate in the T35 program. Download a list of T35 mentors.
• Refer to the area of research in the title of your project. This lets us to know your project qualifies for one of the T35 programs!
• Write a strong STAR application. Have your mentor review your application prior to submission.
