Text Box:  The Nyanza Project is an interdisciplinary research training program for outstanding undergraduates, graduate students and secondary school teachers interested in tropical lakes in the areas of paleoclimatology, biology, limnology and geology. The Nyanza Project is supported by the Paleoclimate Program-Atmospheric Sciences Division of NSF, with supplementary support in 2004 from the Division of Environmental Biology, the Office of International Science and Engineering, and the Environmental Education Venture Fund. The project is run by The University of Arizona for the International Decade of East African Lakes (IDEAL), an organization that promotes research and training on African lakes. As a participant in the Nyanza Project you will join a team of U.S. and African students in a 7-week program of training and independent research. The program will be based in Kigoma, Tanzania, a small town on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. The program will run June 30th-August 16th, 2004. Any undergraduate and graduate student attending a U.S. college or university, and secondary school teacher, may apply, regardless of nationality. Students from under-represented minority groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Students enrolled in the Nyanza Project will have all of their expenses paid (air fare, room/board and research costs) by the project and will receive a summer salary. Application deadline is Dec. 24, 2003. The University of Arizona is an EEO/AA Employer-M/W/D/V. http://geo.arizona.edu/nyanza Email: nyanza@geo.arizona.edu
