We invite domestic and international undergraduate freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who are contemplating a career in biomedically related sciences to apply to the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). Students interested in applying can complete and submit our online application.

Applicants should have a minimum GPA of 3.0, have completed college-level general biology and/or introductory chemistry, have taken some advanced science courses, and have research experience.

In addition to the application form and admission essay, please upload copies of your official transcripts from ALL institutions attended beyond secondary school and that are properly signed and authenticated. Transcripts should be uploaded in the application portal as non-encrypted PDF files. Uploading a transcript with any type of protection or encryption may prevent us from viewing the file and will delay processing of your application.

Two letters of recommendation must also be submitted via our online submission system. These letters should be written by faculty members who are familiar with the student’s academic progress and credentials. Students with research experience must submit letters from their research mentors/advisors.

The application is now open. The application and all supporting documents must be submitted by the February 1 deadline. Applicants generally receive an email message notifying them of a decision between March 1 and March 15.
