Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) || University of California Los Angeles

The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) Program provides an opportunity for talented undergraduate students to work in teams on a real-world research projects proposed by sponsors from industry or the public sector. The student team, with support from their academic mentor and industry mentor, will research the problem and present their results, both orally and in writing, at the end of the program.

Open to: Students enrolled in an undergraduate degree (including graduating seniors

Deadline: February 12th at 8:59 p.m

Undergraduate Summer Program || Arizona State University

MTBI is an intensive summer research experience that prepares undergraduate students for the rigors of graduate level research at the interface of mathematics, statistics, and the natural and social sciences. Select students are invited to Arizona State University for eight weeks, where their time is split between classroom instruction on research methods and hands-on research projects.

MTBI is a research experience for undergraduates (REU); it is not an internship, and students will NOT earn college credit for participation.

Participants receive intensive instruction in dynamical systems, stochastic processes, computational methods and modeling delivered by top scientists and guest speakers from around the world.

At MTBI, students don't work alone. Everything, from homework to research, exists in a collaborative environment with fellow participants, graduate students, postdoctoral students, and visiting scholars. Students work in self-selected groups on research problems of their own choosing, while collaborating with experienced faculty and graduate student mentors. At MTBI, students select their own research topics, not faculty. By the end of the summer, students have complete a high-quality technical report and research poster, which are presented at national conferences to an audience of their peers and colleagues.

Open to: US Citizens/Permanent Residents in their 2nd or 3rd years with at least 1 year of college calculus

Deadline: January 31st

Payment: Room and Board, Transportation support, $4000

Location: Tempe, Arizona, USA

Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships || US Dept. Energy Laboratories

The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program encourages undergraduate students and recent graduates to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as interns appointed at one of 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission.

The SULI program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in collaboration with the DOE laboratories/facilities.

Open to: US Citizens or Permanent Residents, Current (2nd or 3rd year) or recently graduated STEM students with a GPA > 3.0

Deadline: January 9th

Payment: $6000 over 10 weeks

Location: DOE Laboratory locations across USA

Summer Undergraduate Research || Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

Our ten-week Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP), which begins on the first Monday in June, is designed for approximately 20 outstanding undergraduate freshmen, sophomores, and juniors interested in pursuing a career in biomedically related sciences. Applicants must have research experience.

Students in the program have the opportunity to:

• obtain hands-on research experience in cutting-edge laboratories

• interact with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students

• attend a weekly luncheon/seminar series of presentations by faculty

• attend skills development workshops to hone presentation and interview skills

• attend and present at works-in-progress sessions with the cohort of SURP students

Open to: US College 1st, 2nd, or 3rd years interested in biomedicine or related sciences with a GPA > 3.0

Deadline: February 3rd

Payment: $6000 over

Location: New York, USA

Summer Lab Science Program || Mayo Clinic

The Summer Lab Science Program at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, offers students the opportunity to gain experience in the clinical laboratory environment by working alongside Mayo Clinic laboratory employees.

Working with blood, tissue and bodily fluid specimens, technologists perform a wide range of tests from the simple to the complex, using both time-honored manual techniques and state-of-the-art instruments. A patient's diagnosis, treatment and health may be directly dependent upon the laboratory test results.

As clinical testing is highly regulated by Mayo's accrediting agencies and requires appropriate levels of educational degrees, you will not be responsible for performing clinical testing — though you'll have the opportunity to perform pre-analytical functions, work on laboratory-related projects and potentially observe high-complexity testing.

While in the Summer Lab Science Program, your responsibilities may include aliquoting, extraction, centrifugation, assay and instrument validation, and instrument preparation and loading.

Open to: U.S. citizens (or those authorized to work in the U.S.) who are completing junior year (summer prior to graduation) with a cumulative GPA >2.75.

Payment: TBA with the position’s posting

Location: Rochester, MN (U.S.)

Mayo Clinic Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), sponsored by Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, offers a great way to build your skills as a young scientist or test your inclinations toward research.

Our SURF fellows tell us about the lasting friendships they made during the program and how the experience helped them with their career decision-making process. And because the questions they are studying are at the forefront of modern science, many students earn acknowledgment or co-authorship in articles submitted to professional publications.

In addition to their lab work, they also describe some of their unique experiences:

• Mentors. The daily experience of learning from Mayo Clinic faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, medical students and others who are farther along their career paths.

• Real-world research. The excitement of gaining hands-on experience with real-world research projects at a major medical center.

• Top-notch scientists. The opportunities they had for close collaboration with nationally and internationally recognized scientists.

• Modern facilities. The chance to learn how to use world-class instrumentation in modern research facilities.

• Community. Great times living, working and playing with the whole SURF community.

We work hard to bring together a wide variety of talented, motivated students from all ethnic, geographic, educational and economic groups.

Open to: Any student at a U.S. college completing their 2nd or 3rd year with a GPA >3.0.

Payment: $6000 stipend (over 10 weeks)

Location: Pheonix/Scottsdale, AZ (U.S.) OR Rochester, MN (U.S.) OR Jacksonville, Florida (U.S.)
