Looking to get involved in research, but don't have much (or any) experience yet? Check out the the Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship (UGSRF) with the American Physiological Society (APS). The UGSRF program specifically recruits U.S. and international undergraduate students
who have had less than nine months of prior laboratory research
experience.
UGSRF allows students to
participate in hands-on research in the laboratory of an established
researcher and APS member for 10 weeks. Fellows have the opportunity to
network with other APS Fellows interested
in and conducting biomedical or basic research, while exploring the
nature of research and the scientific process, and investigating physiology
career options and what it takes to find career success. Fellows will also learn about
scientific writing and draft a meeting abstract,
learn about common ethical issues in figure and text preparation
and pose their career questions to members of the APS.
To learn more about this fellowship, visit the UGSRF website. The application deadline is February 1, 2020.
