Description:
The Fred Hutch Summer Undergraduate Research Program [SURP] is an intensive, nine-week internship designed to provide research experience and mentorship for undergraduate students who are interested in biomedical research.

Students will be paired with a faculty mentor after selecting one of the following areas of interest: Basic Science, Human Biology, Public Health, Clinical Research, Vaccine and Infectious Diseases

In addition to completing a mentored research project, students will participate in professional development workshops designed to facilitate the preparation of competitive applications for graduate/medical school. Workshops include: preparing a personal statement, resume, and abstract; research ethics and issues; advice and insight on successful admission to graduate or medical school, and preparing and presenting a scientific poster. Students will also attend weekly research seminars regarding a broad array of scientific topics. The program culminates with a competitive poster session.
