10. Going Abroad • Start early • Funding deadline April 15 for summer (RAPtr) • No need for credit in summer after year 1 • Student-designed research takes extra prep time (IRB) • Email me for a meeting: mylo.schaaf@ucsf.edu • Lots of information online (GH Pathway with links to opportunities, funding, safe travel & requirements)
