INBRE summer undergraduate research assistantships

January 29, 2019

University Relations

Undergraduates can apply for a research assistantship in the biomedical sciences and health. Applications are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26.

During the 2018-2019 academic year, applicants must have been full-time undergraduate students enrolled in programs at a UA campus and must have been in good academic standing (min. 3.0 GPA). Applicants are expected to have identified a supporting mentor (UA faculty) and worked with that mentor to write the proposal. The summer URA is expected to work 40 hours a week with compensation during the summer (May 12–Aug. 17, 2019). INBRE will also include up to $2,500 to spend on supplies and services to help support the research they conduct in their host laboratory.

The Alaska IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence, or INBRE, is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. The primary objective of Alaska INBRE undergraduate research assistantship initiative is to provide support for a project in the biomedical sciences and health with mentorship from UA biomedical or health faculty.
