SURP (Summer Undergraduate Research Program)
HOW TO APPLY

New discoveries that influence our health and life are being made in the biomedical sciences at an ever-increasing rate. To provide undergraduates interested in a biomedical research career with an opportunity for firsthand knowledge of how new data are obtained and interpreted in major research laboratories, the Department of Physiology and Biophysics offers summer research traineeships to approximately 20 undergraduate students. The students are assigned to laboratories and work together with faculty to obtain hands-on research experience in the life sciences.

The program is designed for outstanding students with majors in biology, chemistry, physics or related disciplines. Students will carry out a research project under the close guirdance of a faculty member during the summer months (8-10 weeks). Stipends or national fellowships in the amount of $2,500 are provided and on-campus housing is available. In general, we accept students who have finished their junior year. Exceptions are possible for advanced sophomores.

Applications are accepted until December 15th and decisions on acceptance into the program are made on a continuous basis. Most decisions for acceptance will be made by January 31st although applications will be accepted and decisions on acceptance will be made after this date.
