Undergraduate Biology Research Program
The Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) is an educational program designed to teach students science by involving them in biologically related research. Students are paid for their time in the lab where they develop an understanding of scientific method and receive a realistic view of biological research. They also acquire the tools necessary to be successful in post-graduate studies in biology should they choose careers related to biology or biomedical research.
Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program
MARC is a unique research, mentoring, financial and academic opportunity for underrepresented minority students who have interest and potential to pursue careers in biomedical research.
Ronald E. McNair Achievement Program
The Ronald E. McNair Achievement Program provides low-income, first generation, and underrepresented students with opportunities and activities to develop the skills necessary for them to be admitted to and excel in academic studies at the graduate level.
UA/NASA Space Grant
The UA/NASA Space Grant Program employs full-time undergraduate students in various research programs. Application information is available at the UA/NASA Space Grant website.
The Summer Research Institute at UA
The Summer Research Institute's mission is to provide outstanding underrepresented students with the skills, information, and encouragement that will enable them to compete successfully for entrance into graduate programs at UA and other prestigious institutions throughout the country.
In addition, the National Science Foundation offers summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) across the nation. These programs are generally paid, and cover a range of content areas. Please visit their website for more information.
