Final project
Selected participants are paired with a research mentor. Research projects may involve laboratory-based research, computer-based database research or clinical research.
Students learn about research methodology and will complete a project over the summer months. They will present their findings at poster and oral presentation sessions.
Applicants are expected to actively participate in all aspects of the program, including professional development. During the eight-week program (June 5-July 28, 2023), participants work 40 hours each week. Full-time attendance of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. is mandatory throughout the program’s duration.
The program will provide housing for students from the Jackson State University collaboration. For all other applicants we will provide assistance in identifying campus housing options, but housing and transportation will be the responsibility of each student.
We gladly welcome the cohort of students from Jackson State University to undertake this unique summer experience with other students from the Summer Research Program at the cancer center and other programs affiliated with IU School of Medicine.
Although most past participants have resided in the metropolitan Indianapolis area, the program accepts applications from students all across the United States.
The Summer Research Program (SRP) is designed to serve students from populations underrepresented in biomedical and clinical research. It is open to graduating high school seniors entering their freshman year and undergraduate university students who have not yet completed their degree program.
