Biomedical Summer Undergraduate Research Experience [B-SURE]
The Department of Biochemistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, in conjunction with other UT academic departments, is offering a summer program in Biomedical research restricted to students who are in their second or third year of Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or Mathematics. The intent of the program is to expose students from these fields to opportunities for application of their skills to careers in the bio-medical sciences. The program runs for 10 weeks, paying a stipend between $3,500 and $4,500. In addition to a semi-independent bench research project in one of 20+ research labs, a variety of enrichment activities will also be organized. For more information, visit the B-SURE website.
Cornell University Summer Math Institute
Cornell's Summer Math Institute (SMI) will run from June 7 - August 2, 2008. The SMI Program's primary purpose is to better prepare undergraduates, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, for the rigors of beginning courses in Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences. The main component is an analysis course at a level comparable to Cornell's honors undergraduate analysis course. There is also a project component to SMI. Students who will graduate during the 2007-2008 academic year are eligible to apply. For more information, visit http://www.math.cornell.edu/~smi/.
