The program is a 10 week immersion into the life of a research scientist, including a closely mentored 10 week research project, regular lab meetings, seminar series, professional development and career workshops, research symposium and poster session, cultural and scientific enrichment activities, and recreational activities.
We aim to provide opportunities in research career training for undergraduates from groups under-represented in STEM fields, especially those with disadvantage, who may not otherwise have such opportunities.
Stipend, travel, and living expenses for visiting students are covered by the program.
