The Toxicology Mentoring and Skills Development Training Program (ToxMSDT), housed at the University of California Davis, is a special opportunity for underrepresented undergraduate STEM science students to participate in a year-long toxicology training and mentoring program.
Funded by the National Institute of Health, the goal of this program is to attract diverse, high achieving undergraduate students from around the United States to pursue careers in biomedical research, especially in the field of toxicology. Successful applicants will be teamed with a mentor and visit the mentor’s work site, attend the annual Society of Toxicology meeting, engage in online learning modules, and present their program successes at the annual Capstone Event. Travel cost support for programmatic activities will be provided by ToxMSDT. This program supplements the regular academic pursuits of the ToxMSDT students.

The Computer Science
Department at the University of Texas at Dallas will conduct a ten-week summer
research program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for ten
undergraduates from May 20 to July 28, 2022. The focus is on "software safety and reliability," however the technology skills learned by the students have general applicability to research and practice in their future studies.
In addition to work on
assigned research projects at UTD, special seminars by industry advisors will be arranged
to help the students better
understand how software safety and reliability
is adopted in practice for real-life applications. This also gives students a chance to directly communicate with practitioners to receive a first-hand account of the work environments and lifestyles in the industry.
