Program Description:

Each summer, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Department of Molecular Biology, the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, and the Genentech Foundation  provide intensive laboratory research experiences to a select group of undergraduates chosen from a nationwide pool. Each student joins a world-class research group - headed by a Faculty member - and carries out an original research project. Participants are immersed in a culture of close collaboration with other undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty, and thereby experience first-hand what it is like to be a scientist. Over 77% of former participants have since pursued degrees in PhD, MD, or combined MD/PhD programs.

Other Highlights of the Program Include:

·         research discussion groups (learn to analyze and present data)

·         faculty forum (attend weekly seminars given by Princeton Faculty)

·         poster session (present your research to respected scientists)

·         career forums (interact with former program participants)

Program Details and Eligibility:

The program runs from June 9 – August 8, 2014 (9 weeks).  In addition to receiving a $4000 stipend, students are provided with housing in Princeton dormitories and are reimbursed for traveling expenses within budgetary limits.

We particularly encourage applications from research-oriented undergraduates (1) whose participation will add to the diversity of researchers in the sciences, or (2) whose interests lie at the boundary between biology and the computational sciences including physics, chemistry, computer science and engineering, or (3) who are from institutions that do not have large research programs.

Applicants must be US citizens, permanent residents, or foreign undergraduates attending a US educational institution.

Application Deadline: February 1, 2014

Application Materials:

·         Online application form

·         Personal statement (included in the online application form)

·         Two letters of recommendation from faculty members (also submitted online).

·         Transcript(s) of all undergraduate courses and grades (submitted via email).
