Prepare for undergraduate research!
The University of Minnesota Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology (MICaB) Program, in collaboration with the University's First-Gen Institute, is accepting applications for the spring semester 2023 Minnesota Biomedical Undergraduate Research training program. The training program is for U of M first-generation students, and provides the opportunity for any student interested in a STEM-based career to prepare for undergraduate research at the University.
Trainees will participate in a series of workshops and three separate five-week rotations in various laboratories of their choosing during the spring semester. During the rotations, trainees will spend approximately 10 hours a week in laboratory in order to learn translatable research skills in microbiology, immunology, or cancer biology.
Trainees also will receive a $750 scholarship for the semester. Upon training completion, students will be encouraged to accept a position in a research laboratory and ultimately apply for additional funding in order to continue their undergraduate research.
Applicants must be first-generation undergraduate students currently enrolled full-time at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. To apply:
- Complete the program application form
- Submit a personal statement outlining your scientific interests, career goals, and how your experiences as a first-generation student has shaped these goals
- Submit an unofficial copy or screenshot of your transcript demonstrating current enrollment or completion of either BIOL 1951, CHEM 1081, or equivalent.
For more information, visit the MICaB and First Generation at the U of M websites.
