Marshall Scholarships
Up to 40 scholarships for study toward a degree in the United Kingdom are awarded yearly to U.S. citizens who hold a first degree with a minimum GPA of 3.7 after freshman year. The scholarships pay full costs, including travel and an allowance for a dependent spouse. Candidates must have received an undergraduate degree in any discipline within 3 years of taking up the scholarship, which is tenable at any British university for 2 to 3 academic years. Applications must be made through a regional center in the United States and are due in mid-October of the year preceding tenure.
Marshall Sherfield Postdoctoral Fellowships
Two postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded in 2002 for U.S. scientists and engineers to undertake up to a year of research at British universities or research institutes. Fellowships cover full costs and allowances for travel and accompanying spouse and children. Awardees are expected to engage in a meaningful collaboration with a university or institute whose research is complementary to their areas of expertise. Applications are due October 9.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
