In selected cases, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and staff members at UofM, UTHSC, and other participating institutions may also be eligible. All individuals requesting membership within the Institute should have plans to assist with research activity specific to the Institute's mission of improving neonatal care and outcomes. Letters from individuals requesting membership in the Institute must explain their interests and potential contributions. Specifically, a formal letter stating both interest and rationale for inclusion in the Institute submitted by all interested individuals. The request will then be considered by the Institute Director and/or future leadership team in order for a decision to be made regarding membership.
