The Department of Microbiology offers 403:030 Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program, a nine-week summer program for qualified undergraduate students who are studying microbiology or other biological sciences and are interested in pursuing careers in science. Participants conduct research on a project they select, under the direct supervision of a faculty member.

Each participant receives a stipend for food and personal expenses. The program provides housing.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have completed their sophomore or junior year in a bachelor's degree program in the biological sciences. Applications should include a completed application form and two letters of recommendation. Deadline to apply is mid-February for the following summer.
