The program will consist of a two-month summer research internship in the Radiation Physics Laboratory at OSU (Stillwater, OK), with visits and experiments at the ProCure Proton Therapy Center (Oklahoma City, OK). The objective is to provide undergraduate students with first hand experience in applied physics research geared towards proton therapy-a unique experience in this exciting field and radiation therapy modality.</div> <bR> <div> This program is made possible by scholarships provided by ProCure Treatment Centers, Inc. ProCure recently established a Proton Therapy Center in Oklahoma City, the first in the State of Oklahoma and the sixth in the country. The proton accelerator at the ProCure Therapy Center in Oklahoma City is already operational and the treatment of patients in expected to start in the summer of 2009. The undergraduates in this program will be working in projects directly related to proton cancer therapy.</div> <bR> <div> This first year of the program will take place from June 1<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >st</FONT> until July 31<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >st</FONT>, 2009. Selected students will receive a scholarship of US$ 4,000 for the two-month period to cover accommodation, travel, meals, and other expenses. (We will assist in finding accommodation on the OSU campus and provide a list of expected expenses.) In this first year, only students from the State of Oklahoma and majoring in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) areas will be considered.</div> <bR> <div> For more information on the program or to apply, please contact Dr. Eric R.
