Does anyone know of any undergraduate summer research programs in foreign countries in which a stipend is given 😕 thanks

Bump.

The stipend that would get, even if you could find one, would probably only cover the travel expenses or may even be less. I haven't seen anyone do a foreign program though.

Not true.. LOOK INTO THE INTERNATION RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAMS OF FOGARTY INternational Center of the NIH.... http://www.fic.nih.gov/
the one i did was 8 weeks in Mali (West Africa). they paid for all of my meals, airfare, lodging, immunizations, etc.. plus i think a $1500 stipend when i finished my final report..it was an AMAZING experience!!!! check it out!!! 👍 👍 👍

were you an undergraduate when you went?

From what I know, the Fogarty International Center program is available to undergraduate students in the form of the Minority International Research Training program... (you know if you are eligible for this program 🙂) I actually spent two undergraduate summers in Ecuador doing medical anthropology/public health research, supported by research awards at the University of Virginia. Both paid not only for travel expensies, but meals, lodging, immunizations, etc. I ended up using some money to found a non-profit organization, and even had money left that I had to return to the University! Does your University have any undergraduate research awards available to apply for?

I don't qualify for the NIH program. I'll see if my college has such things. Thanks for the info.
