Dear colleagues,

 We are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for the 20th Annual Principles of STD/HIV Research Course. The course will be held July 16-26, 2012 in-person at the University of Washington in Seattle or online around the world.

Students wishing to participate, but unable to travel to Seattle can enroll in the online course.  Online students will participate in real-time, interactive lecture webcasts, including a moderated Q&A period at the end of each lecture.  The course runs July 16-26, 2012 from approximately 8:30am-5:30pm PST (your time here).  Online students should ensure they can login to lectures during that time.  Minimum technical specifications are available at http://depts.washington.edu/pshr/register.html.

The aim of the course is to offer an intensive overview of the skills needed to pursue a research career in the field of STD and/or HIV research. Each year, approximately 100-150 participants from around the world participate in this unique training opportunity.

 Detailed course information and online application are available on the course website: http://depts.washington.edu/pshr
