Basic Research Immersion
Training Experience (BRITE)
An NIH T-32 Training Program for Veterinary Students in
Hypothesis-Based Biomedical Research
College of Veterinary Medicine
Kansas State University (KSU)
Manhattan, KS
The BRITE program is sponsored by the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) and designed for DVM students who are considering
careers in research. The BRITE program offers an academic-year
mentored research experience distinct from the profession
curriculum. BRITE students are provided with stipend support, so
that they may apply their rigorous didactic basic science
training to a research problem relevant to human and animal
health. All applicants must be enrolled currently in a DVM or
VMD program. The BRITE program is open to veterinary students
enrolled in the College of Veterinary Medicine at KSU as well as
those in other colleges of veterinary medicine in the United
States. More information about the BRITE program can be found at
the following web site:
http://www.vet.ksu.edu/depts/ap/brite/index.htm
For KSU-CVM students, the program will start after completion of
the fourth semester; BRITE students participating in 2008-09 are
expected to begin no later than August 1, 2008. The start time
for this program may be more flexible for applicants from other
institutions. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or have permanent
residency status.
For students wishing to start in August 2008, applications are
due on April 4, 2008.
Electronic submission is acceptable. Late applications may not
be considered. Questions and completed applications should be
