Program Description
The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) Summer Undergraduate Research Program is a
non-credit, ten-week, structured research experience. The program
consists of "hands-on" laboratory research with an investigator serving
as a mentor, role model and advisor.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program is funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and UMMS Provost’s Office.
Goals
The
program is designed to provide participants in-depth exposure to actual
biomedical research. Participants will develop
career-building connections with faculty, postdocs, graduate students,
and peers. The program encourages participants to consider biomedical
research as a viable career choice. Over 33% of former participants have
subsequently pursued MD, PhD or MD/PhD training.
Why should I apply?
• Immersive experience performing cutting edge research in a broad range of topic areas including:
Cancer Biology,

Neuroscience, and
Bioinformatics.
•
Summer Research Fellows receive a stipend of $4000. Stipends are paid
to participants in three payments over the ten-week program.
• Travel and housing are paid for and arranged by the program.
• Participants engage in networking sessions with UMMS leaders, faculty and trainees.
•
Participants prepare and present a professional research poster. Poster
