Univ of Pennsylvania Summer Program
The Undergraduate Student Scholars Program in the NIH Center for Molecular Studies in Digestive and Liver Disease at the University of Pennsylvania is an organized program of summer lectures and presentations combined with basic research experience in the laboratory of an expert investigator. This program is open to students from the University of Pennsylvania as well as outside of the university. The curriculum is designed specifically for undergraduate students with an interest in biomedical research, with the eventual goal of MD, PhD, or MD-PhD degrees. Applications from women and members of underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged.
During the program, students attend weekly seminars on introductory topics in biomedical research. At the end of the course, all participants present their research to members of the Center for Molecular Studies in Digestive and Liver Disease in a focused seminar and receive a certificate recognizing their completion of the program. For the research experience, students are paired with individual mentors. The research program is thus individualized to each student and each laboratory. Research interests of program faculty are available.
The stipend this year is expected to be $3500 for the 10-week program. Click here for an application or by contacting Ms. Daphnie Jolly at the address below:
