As part of our program, you will receive special training in laboratory and radiation safety, laboratory animal methodology, research technology, and biomedical ethics. Also, as part of the program you will attend weekly seminars by guest speakers focusing on cutting-edge research and career development. As a summer research program student you will be guided by your faculty mentor on a research project over a 10-week period. Students are expected to work 40 hours per week on their research in their selected faculty mentor’s laboratory. At the conclusion of the program you will submit an abstract of your research. Your mentor will also help you develop a poster that must be presented at the annual Research Forum held in the fall.

***新Funding Information for 2022***

McGovern Medical School students may apply for external fellowships, awards or scholarships to fund their summer research activities. Typically funded by professional societies, these awards are for students seriously considering research in specific specialty areas. A few tips to consider when applying for an externally funded award:

• Start planningin the early Fall. Most application deadlines are in January or February.
• Establish a mentorwho is willing to work with you on the project. Most proposals require a description of a research project, if so you will need a mentor who can guide and advise.
• Apply early。这些是竞争性的国家奖；早期申请将确保全面审查，并在未收到奖学金的情况下申请SRP资金。
• 注意和准备。个人奖学金可能包括其他要求，包括与专业或社会有关的年度会议上的旅行和演讲
• Communicatewith the SRP Program Coordinator about the application and its outcome so that all are informed and SRP funding advisement can be given in a timely way.
