Description:
UConn RaMP (Research and Mentoring for Postbaccalaureates (soon-to-be and recent graduates)) Program is a year-long, paid NSF-funded research training program based at the University of Connecticut. The purpose of the program is to offer a mentored research experience and professional development opportunities to individuals historically underrepresented in STEM (including underrepresented ethic groups, people with disabilities, veterans, and first-generation college students) or those who did not have sufficient access to research during their undergraduate careers (college graduates of lower-resourced institutions).

Scholars will conduct original research on the theme of genomic novelty under the mentorship of a faculty member and graduate student mentor in the biology department, participate in professional development activities, and expand high demand technical skills in preparation for a diverse array of STEM careers and/or graduate school.

The program takes place on the UConn Storrs Campus, Stipend is $32,500 yearly stipend plus health insurance.

Overview of Program Components:

-Conduct independent research

-learn skills like PCR, molecular cloning, next generation sequencing techniques, DNA/RNA extractions, bioinformatics and more!
