What's New

The Cincinnati PREP program (PREP@UC) is a paid one-year post-bac in biomedical sciences. The program will be accepting applications starting on December 15, 2020. This opportunity is for graduating seniors who are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree but who are not quite ready to take this path, maybe because they lack research experience, other skills or even just the confidence that they can succeed.

On behalf of the American Chemical Society Global Outreach Team, it is my pleasure to announce the opening of the application window for the 2021 International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program.

 The ACS IRES program is seeking applications from qualified U.S. undergraduate students to explore chemistry and chemical engineering lab research in an international setting. ACS has partnered with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to place U.S. students at German research labs from May-August 2021 (final research dates are determined between selected students at the host lab). This is a unique research opportunity for U.S. undergraduate sciences students to experience international research cooperation at its heart and developing their cross-cultural communication skills-a critical professional skill for researchers.

The student-led undergraduate research journal, Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review, 

The Appalachian Gerontology Experiences: Advancing Diversity in Aging Research  Scholars Program invites faculty, staff and students to attend a virtual Open House on Nov 16 from 4-5 p.m. to learn more about this newly-funded program which prepares underrepresented students in MSTEM fields for a future career in health or research. 

Opportunities are opened to rising sophomores and juniors to participate in the 2021 paid six-week summer research internship. Faculty members who are interested in becoming research mentors for these future AGE-ADAR Scholars are strongly encouraged to attend. All attendees will have a chance to win several $25 gift cards.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers 11 summer research programs in varying disciplines. Links to all of the programs can be found at this site:https://grad.wisc.edu/diversity/srop/.

What? Session (short presentation and Q&A) on successful academic year research models.

Who Should Attend? Faculty, administrators and staff at institutions throughout West Virginia.

Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit their creative pieces to WVU's undergraduate literary journal Calliope by Dec. 31, 2020. The journal accepts fiction, non-fiction and poetry submissions, as well as visual art pieces. 

Find submission guidelines and the link to submit to Calliope. 

The Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review (MURR) editorial review board is pleased to announce the winner for its annual cover art contest, Kirsten Roys. 

Calling all undergraduates and recent graduates in STEM!
