The annual yearly stipend for Board of Regents Fellows is $17,000, and tuition is waived. Minimum entrance requirements include a GRE (verbal and quantitative) of 1250 and undergraduate/graduate GPA of 3.5. In addition, letters of recommendation and research experience will be used to evaluate potential. Fellowship students are expected to devote essentially all of their time to degree-related activities (no teaching duties are associated with the Fellowship), although Fellowship students are expected to contribute a few hours each year to outreach in local elementary and secondary schools. The recipient must be a US citizen or hold a green card. The Department of Biological Sciences has trained about 30 fellowship students since 1988, and successful students are in post-doctoral, research and development and faculty positions throughout the US.

BioMail will search PubMed, the largest publically available online database for biomedical journals, using your search terms. BioMail then e-mails you the results weekly, biweekly or monthly as you choose. http://molbiol.edu.ru/cgi-bin/biomail/users.pl The site is predominantly in Russian.
