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.
