Program: The Ole Miss Chemistry Department seeks applicants for
an NSF-funded summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in
2019. Students who have completed their freshman year of college and who have
not yet graduated can participate fully in "Ole Miss Physical Chemistry Summer
Research Program" activities and work on a research project under the direction
of a faculty mentor. Student participants will receive a $5,000 stipend, a housing
and meal plan for ten weeks, and travel assistance.
Eligibility: Undergraduate student participants must have completed
their freshmen year of college but not yet graduated, and must be citizens or
permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. Underrepresented
groups in science are strongly encouraged to apply, including minorities, women,
and first-generation college students.

The
Harvard-Amgen Scholars Program is a ten-weekfaculty mentored residential
summer research program for undergraduates in biotechnology.Through this program,
a diverse cohort of rising undergraduate juniors and seniors will have the opportunity
to work in laboratories of faculty across the Harvard campus. In addition to an engaging,
formative research experience, Harvard-AmgenScholars will live among over 300
undergraduate residents of the Harvard Summer Undergraduate Research Village community
in one of the historic Houses along the Charles River. Please check out
our flyer for an overview of the program and benefits.
The deadline to submit complete applications is Friday, February 1, 2019.Check
out more information about the Harvard-Amgen Scholars Program, as well as
eligibility criteria and the application process. The
Amgen Scholars Program website includes information about all of
the U.S. and international programs available this coming summer.
Attention undergraduate seniors and recent graduates: Applications are open for the
BCM Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at Baylor College of Medicine
in Houston, Texas. Early deadline is January 1st and the final deadline is March
15th.
The goal is to help under-represented college graduates prepare for biomedical Ph.D.
study. BCM PREP Scholars complete the program within 12 months, depending on each
scholar's individual development plan. There are eight positions available each year.

The Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology of the American Chemical Society
(ACS) is sponsoring two INTENSIVE six-week Summer Schools in Nuclear and Radiochemistry
for undergraduates. Funding is provided by the US Department of Energy.
Fellowships include a stipend of $4000, all tuition and fees, transportation to and
from the Summer School location, housing, books, and laboratory supplies.
Transferable college credit will be awarded through the ACS accredited chemistry
programs at San Jose State University (7 units) or the State University of New
York at Stony Brook (6 units).
Represent the state of West Virginia and WVU as you present your research to members
of Congress in Washington, D.C. The application portal for the April 2019 Posters
on the Hill submissions is now open and abstracts are due by/before Nov. 9. WVU
is an “Institutional Member” of CUR and any WVU undergraduate researcher is eligible
to apply to Posters on the Hill. If you plan to apply, please contact the
Office of Undergraduate Research as we will aid in the application and,
if accepted, coordinate, fund, and arrange your travel.
As youths, we are often told to go to college and get a degree, but seldom are
we told what to do once we get here. The cliché stories of black and brown students
overcoming poverty and discrimination to graduate high school and go to college
are always told, but what happens to these students when they are finally “living
their dream?” We come to college only to be the only black person in a biology
lecture of 200 people and to cringe at our professors calling our ancestors red
Indians. Students of color at predominately white universities have to endure a
sense of isolation that can be detrimental to our well-being and, therefore, our
education. Our strong sense of determination can end up being lost throughout our
struggles of balancing schoolwork, jobs, family, and being different from our peers.
Without this drive, students can end up wondering where they fit into the grand
scheme of college and if it’s even the right decision for them.
The Summer Program to Increase Diversity in Undergraduate Research (SPIDUR) is an 8-week summer program for high-achieving under-represented, first generation, or disabled undergraduate students, providing research experience and professional development training in their field of interest. These opportunities are not typically available in the undergraduate classroom. This learn-by-doing model places an emphasis on graduate education and allows the Scholars to put their experiential learning into practice, preparing them to excel in their future studies and research. In addition to mentored research activities, scholars participate in weekly professional development training to build skills critical to professional success. Topics include: responsible conduct of research, developing a competitive research fellowship application, preparing an academic resume, professional communication tools, and a session on preparing for graduate school. The program culminates with the Summer Research Symposia, where students participating in summer research programs on campus present their research results. The Summer Research Symposia is free and open to the public.
Summer scholars receive a stipend of $4000 for the 8 weeks of the program. Housing will be provided, but space is limited. Travel to UNC Charlotte is not supported by the program. For further information, please contact advanceuncc@uncc.edu. The Charlotte Research Scholars are sponsored by the Division of Academic Affairs, Graduate School, and Charlotte Research Institute. Apply now by December 14, 2018. Specific Details about the Program.
