Summer research opportunities are available for undergraduate students seeking research experience to augment academic, medical, or industrial career tracks.

Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Summer Research Fellowships for Undergraduate Students

Competitive positions are available yearly for research experiences in the biomedical sciences (15 fellowships) and bioinformatics (six fellowships) in laboratories at the three lead INBRE institutions: UAF, UALR, and UAMS. Sponsored by a grant from the National Institutes of Health and National Center for Research Resources, each fellowship includes a stipend, living expenses and supplies. The INBRE Summer Student Research Fellowship Program seeks to involve AR undergraduate students traditionally underrepresented in science into a stimulating research experience. More information on INBRE.

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Summer Research Fellowships for Undergraduates

This program exposes undergraduates to an engaging research environment and the possibilities of graduate research. Students get hands-on research experience working on a project under a faculty member’s guidance. Our diverse faculty provides a wide range of potential student projects and chance to meet UAMS faculty on a personal level and engage in on-going research projects. More information and application for SURF.

Department of Pediatrics Summer Science Program

The Summer Science Program at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, co-sponsored by the Department of Pediatrics and the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute, gives outstanding sophomore, junior, and senior-level college students the experience of a career in academic medicine—in both the clinical and the research aspects. Students spend 10 weeks during the summer shadowing physicians, attending rounds and clinics, and touring different hospital units, as well as participating in a mentored research project involving children’s health. More information and application for the Summer Science Program.
