• The attached completed UMBC International Field Research Application Form.
• A short essay (500 word limit, 12 font) in which you describe why you are interested in this program. Please include your rationale for applying to the International Field Research Program and any pertinent background information. For example, if you are interested in a career in health, aging, or scientific research, you might discuss any key issues or considerations associated with the career decisions facing you.
