The Meharry ENVIT Program is a 10-week virology research training that includes didactic lectures in fundamentals of virology and career-development topics for a virology-focused research and education career. The overall goal of “Enhancing Virology Training (ENVIT) through Summer Research” is to prepare and increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students in virology-focused careers through didactic, hands-on, mentored, and career-development training.
- Provide students with a 10-week virology research training that includes didactic lectures in fundamentals of virology and career-development topics for a virology-focused research and education career.
- Promote evidence-based education in virology by training the students on the methods in fundamental virology research and specialized research techniques in a laboratory setting.
- Engage each student with leading virology researchers (faculty mentor, students, postdoctoral fellows, and staff) to stimulate their interest to consider further education and training in the area of virology.
- Develop oral and poster presentation skills of students through scientific presentations of their research internally at MMC Virology Summer Symposium and externally at one national conference.
