The HBCU-Bridge Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) is designed to immerse undergraduate students<\/strong> from local HBCUs in cutting-edge scientific research while developing scientific literacy and professional development skills. The goals of the program are to introduce undergraduate students to biomedical research in microbiology and immunology. Students will be matched with a participating laboratory in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology where they will perform experiments to address a key scientific question. Students will also participate in a weekly journal club where they will develop and practice key skills including scientific literacy, hypothesis generation, and experimental design. The program runs from May 18 until July 27<\/strong>. (Virtual orientation will be May 18-22<\/strong>, and move-in date will be May 24<\/strong>.) At the end of the 10-week program, students participate in a campus-wide poster session where they formally present their projects to an audience.<\/p>\n Students who qualify (see eligibility below) can apply for an extension program which supports ongoing research with their host laboratory through the academic year and following summer. This opportunity provides students with more in-depth and independent research experience, grows their network of mentors, and prepares students for graduate and professional school.<\/p>\nApply for Summer 2025 <\/i><\/a>\n Research internships are awarded on a competitive basis to students who meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n Students must be able to participate in the entire program (see dates above), including weekly journal clubs and professional development seminars, lab meetings, and the end-of-summer poster presentation. Students are not permitted to take summer courses during the dates of the program.<\/p>\n $6000<\/strong> stipend and UNC campus housing will be provided.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Danielle Williams<\/a> (UNC Chapel Hill) Applications for each new year open in December!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HBCU-Bridge Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) Summer 2025 The HBCU-Bridge Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) is designed to immerse undergraduate students from local HBCUs in cutting-edge scientific research while developing scientific literacy and professional development skills.
