Meeting Co-Chairs Matt McCurdy and Chirag Patel meet with APSA President Freddy T. Nguyen after the 2006 APSA Texas Regional Meeting.
If you've started your trek as a graduate student, you have become acutely aware of the cost of research. Many of you may be in well funded MSTP programs that finance your education as well as your stipend; however, others may be living on loans and praying for a grant. Whatever the situation, at some point in academic medicine, it will be necessary to secure funding of our own. Science and research monies are very competitive and are currently in somewhat short supply.
