The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Research Diversity Program (PURDiP) is now open to minority (African American, Hispanic/Latino American, or Native American) undergraduate students interested in biomedical research.
The 10-week summer program is held on the University of Pittsburgh's Oakland campus. Students will work with a designated faculty member for 8-10 weeks. Training will incorporate didactic lectures, seminars, workshops, group homework, hands-on research and presentations by the trainees.
Forty-seven WVU students have been invited to participate the seventeenth annual Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol (URDC) in Charleston, West Virginia on Friday, February 7.
Students representing eleven institutions will present their research from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Capitol Rotunda. In all, over 95 students will participate.
The NIA Summer Internship Program, with over 25 years of history, offers unique opportunities for high school, college, graduate, and medical students, to develop skills in scientific research. In this program, based in Baltimore, Maryland, students receive hands-on research experience.
Undergraduates, grad and med students (applications due March 1). High school students (application due February 1)
This 8-week program (June 22 - August 14, 2020)
combines workshops in big data analysis with research experiences in diverse
areas of quantitative and computational biosciences. Supported by grants from
NSF, NIH, and the University of California.

Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine (MU JCESOM) Graduate Program is offering the Summer Research Internship for Minority Students (SRIMS) for its 12th year!
The 10-week iCompBio REU focuses on interdisciplinary computational biology training to undergraduates in science, technology, engineering, math, and other related fields. Please look through the potential research projects and then choose your preferences of the potential research topics.
A one-week computing bootcamp will be provided to teach students essential data science using R, and advanced data processing and deep learning methods using Python. Each student will be jointly mentored by a computer science mentor and a biology mentor. The computing training includes coding, modeling, simulation, deep learning neural networks, computer vision, parallel computing, statistics, data visualization, and mobile App development.
Undergraduates from all majors are invited to submit abstracts for presentation of scholarly works at the Fourth Annual Undergraduate Spring Symposium on April 3-4 at WVU. Projects presented on April 3 will be oral, visual arts and performing arts presentations. Projects presented on April 4 will be poster presentations. Abstracts (160-250 words) are due by before 11:59 p.m. March 4, 2020. Presentations will be judged and monetary prizes awarded.
Nominations for the Faculty Award for Distinction in Mentoring Undergraduates in Research are now open and will be accepted through Feb. 14, 2020. Nomination of a faculty member from several sources (e.g., multiple students, faculty colleagues or a combination thereof) tend to enhance the nomination. Outstanding nominees will be invited to submit supporting documentation. Awards will be announced publicly in spring and awardees will receive funding to further support undergraduates in research.
