Qualified college students who have completed their sophomore or junior year of college and have a demonstrated interest in pursuing research in the biomedical sciences are encouraged to apply to our Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP).

Our application for SURP 2026 will open October 1st. The program will run from May 31, 2026 to August 1, 2026.

SURP Application Timeline

Our program is very competitive. We review each application carefully and select students who show a sincere interest in research. This means we choose students who have pursued opportunities to conduct research. Although we do not specify the amount of research experience that is necessary to be considered, competitive applicants have independent work experience in a laboratory.

We send notifications of the admissions committee’s decision in mid-March. We do have a short waiting list, and wait-listed applicants are notified later in March or early April if a spot becomes available.

How to Apply

Applicants for the summer 2026 class must submit materials through our application portal.
