The Summer Research Internship Program (SRIP) hosted 46 undergraduate students for a summer research experience in biomedical sciences that concluded on August 2.
Selected students from colleges and universities from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico arrived in May to spend 10 weeks immersed in hands-on research projects investigating current problems in biomedical research guided by faculty mentors.
In addition to the lab work, students engaged in weekly professional development and scientific communicating workshops and expanded their research knowledge through a speaker series featuring presentations from scientists.
The summer research experience culminates with students making a power-point presentation on their research during the closing symposium attended by faculty mentors and research lab colleagues.
SRIP is sponsored by the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program Office at the UVA School of Medicine. Learn more about this long-running program that nurtures undergraduate interest in biomedical research.
