Mentored research apprenticeship program designed to give laboratory experience in applied epidemiology to qualified unmatriculated high school students (participating in Cornell Summer College) or Cornell underclassmen.   Students are placed in a research laboratory with a designed project under the direct supervision of a research associate (upper-level graduate student, post-doc, or faculty member).   Students are graded on preparation participation in laboratory academic life and appropriate acquisition of techniques.  At the end of the six-week session, they are expected to give a brief (15 to 20 minute) oral presentation on their work and submit a manuscript in a form suitable for publication.  The faculty director of the laboratory has ultimate responsibility for evaluating each student's work and assigning the grade.
