Requirements: US citizen, rising junior or senior
Application deadline: Feb. 3, 2020
Summer Undergraduate Research PHarmacology (SURPH) Program
The SURPH@Duke fellowship is targeted to rising juniors and seniors who are interested in future graduate study to obtain a PhD. This ten-week summer research experience focuses on learning how scientific discovery at the bench can be translated to treatment of disease. Students will train with a faculty mentor and carry out an independent research project in Duke’s Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology.
Requirements: US citizen, rising junior or senior
Application deadline: Feb. 3, 2020
Duke Engineering Research Experiences for Undergrads (REU)
During a period of nine weeks, students will work full-time in a research project, will participate in weekly seminars and workshops, and will attend regular group meetings in their research labs. We strongly encourage students from underrepresented minorities groups and students with disabilities to apply. REU participants have the opportunity to conduct research in a large spectrum of interdisciplinary topics broadly organized into five areas: energy, environment, health, national security, and learning.
