The program, “Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences” (EICS) sponsored by Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Pressure Institute, is an opportunity for summer research for under-represented minorities. The focus is on research training in the cardiovascular sciences with mentoring by medical school faculty. The curriculum includes "hands-on" laboratory research, a lecture series which includes presentations by faculty and guest speakers and a research symposium at which the students present their research findings. Undergraduate or master’s students with an interest in a biomedical research career are encouraged to apply.
