Research as an undergraduate….. Get involved in research early Consider trying to publish your results Surprise your mentor with your curiosity! Subscribe to a journal/read lots/join a society Practice writing/summarizing your results Find out what you like Determine strengths/weaknesses

Getting into graduate school Good grades Research experience Aim high -- seek out the best programs/faculty Follow up: write letters/call -- no ! Consider jumping directly into a Ph.D. program Have research ideas, yet be flexible Visit top choices Make sure your program will support you -- RAs/TAs

External fellowships for graduate school Always apply NSF Graduate Fellowships (no Masters) ( Howard Hughes Predoctoral Fellowships ( Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowships ( Gates Millennium Scholars Fund ( UNCF/Merck Fellowships for African Americans ( Fellowships from country of origin

In graduate school Begin research early Seek out training -- in and out of class Set publishing goals Tailor your research to your career goal NSF Dissertation Improvement Grants Other funding -- Sigma Xi, Explorer’s Club

Beyond graduate school Consider your options carefully Postdocs -- opportunities for expanding your toolkit –NSF Bioinformatics Postdocs –NSF Minority Postdoctoral Fellowships –NIH Postdoctoral Fellowships –NIH Minority Supplements –Opportunities overseas Faculty positions Other fields requiring evolutionary expertise

Carpe diem! (‘seize the day’) Changing demographics of job opportunities Abundant opportunities for minority scholars Get to know funding programs and program officers at NSF, NIH, USDA-- they are there to help! Seek advice!
