Final project
These highly competitive, prestigious scholarships are designed to expose highly qualified students to several disciplines within cardiovascular disease research and its clinical applications. Each scholar will be supported by a research scholarship. The major focus will be intensive basic or clinical research as each scholar will be assigned a laboratory and a faculty mentor. In addition, scholars will be introduced to clinical, industrial, and academic medicine through a variety of field trips, seminars and hands on experiences. Weekly seminars by faculty and industry leaders will be given to offer the scholar a window into career opportunities in cardiovascular science and medicine.
Housing is not provided by the Summer Research Scholars Program.
For applicants 18 years and older, accommodations in University of Minnesota residence halls are available at an extra cost. Contact the University of Minnesota Office of Housing and Residential Life for more info.
For applicants under the age of 18, an adult chaperone is required for accomodation in University housing. The adult chaperone must live with the applicant and pay an additional cost. Alternatively, minor age applicants may make off-campus housing arrangements with family or friends in the area.
Scholars are required to attend Cardiopalooza on July 31, 2024.
Note: Scholars with an interest in continuing to work through the first half of August should indicate so on their applications, as laboratories frequently employ scholars for a few weeks after completion of the program.
