The
BP-ENDURE Program hosted by a collaboration between Hunter
College and the Vanderbilt Brain Institute connects research-intensive
institutions to institutions that have substantial enrollments of
neuroscience majors from traditionally underrepresented
groups. The program supports a range of activities to increase
undergraduate student’s interest in the neurosciences, including
research experiences, curriculum development, seminars and journal
clubs.
The
Integrative Cancer Biology Program has two different
summer programs for undergraduates designed to train students
specifically interested in cancer research how to address research
questions in this field.
The Leadership Alliance Summer Research Early Identification Program (SR-IEP)
offers undergraduates, interested in pursuing a Ph.D. or
M.D./Ph.D., the opportunity to work for nine weeks under the guidance of
a faculty or research mentor at Vanderbilt University, a participating
Alliance institution.
The
Summer Enrichment Research Program in Education and Neuroscience
Training by the Middle Tennessee Chapter for the Society of Neuroscience
(MTNCsfn) is designed to introduce students to neuroscience research outreach training through its Summer
Enrichment Research Program in Education and Neuroscience Training (SERPENT).
The
Vanderbilt Summer Undergraduate Research Internship in Biomedical Informatics (SURI-BMI)
provides undergraduate students with a high quality, hands-on research
experience with Biomedical Informatics faculty mentors; thereby
encouraging students
to consider pursuing PhDs and research careers in the field.
The objective of the
Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Pharmacology is
to introduce students to biomedical research and to help them gain an
understanding of recent advances in pharmacological research through
interactions with faculty, postdocs and, graduate
students.
The
Vanderbilt Benign Urologic Disease Center Summer Program
provides undergraduate students who are interested in benign urologic
disease, the opportunity for a research experience in one of the
laboratories associated with the Vanderbilt Benign
Urologic Disease Center.
The
Vanderbilt Minority Summer Research Program offers
undergraduates, who are members of federally recognized groups as
underrepresented in the sciences, a summer research internship in the
laboratory of an outstanding scientist at Vanderbilt University.
The
Vanderbilt Summer Diabetes Research Program provides
undergraduate students who are interested in diabetes the opportunity
for a research experience in one of the many laboratories associated
with the Vanderbilt Diabetes Center.
The
Vascular Biology-Short Term Training Program for Minority Students
offers undergraduate students an NIH funded training program in
vascular biology. The STTP for Minority Students offers a laboratory
experience designed to teach contemporary research
techniques and enhance essential laboratory skills. Combining research
activities with coursework, students gain a better grasp of research
concepts and improve their critical thinking with regards to the
literature and their own studies.
The
Undergraduate Clinical Research Internship Program is a
separate track within the VSSA that gives undergraduates the opportunity
to explore the busy life of an academic medical center. It is designed
for individuals who may wish to pursue a career
as a physician in a teaching hospital, in a clinic, or as a physician
scientist. Participants will actively engage with a physician’s research
team over a nine-week period. Participants are also exposed to the
clinical environment, spending one half-day per
week shadowing resident physicians in the hospital.
The deadline to apply is February 1, 2014. Please go to
