Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Details

Program Compensation

This program provides student recipients with a scholarship of $4500 and tuition reimbursement for a 3-credit research course. Each mentor receives $1000 to defray the cost of lab supplies. Because all recipients will be immersed in time-intensive research, participants are not allowed to be engaged in other course work or employment.


Program Guidelines

Research projects will begin at end of May and include 10-week, full-time, independent research. The mentor must be present during the entire program or the student may become ineligible.

Students are required to attend an opening ceremony which includes a program orientation and required laboratory safety class.

Students are required to attend a series of seminars and workshops focused on assisting students planning to pursuing biomedical research careers.

All students will present their research project at a poster meeting at the end of the summer.

Eligibility

Students must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

 

US citizens and permanent legal resident aliens

Undergraduates enrolled at UNR, UNLV, NSC, CSN, GBC TMCC or Sierra Nevada College

Overall GPA of 3.0 or higher

Acceptance of this award may impact a student's income level to a degree that could affect eligibility for student loans, and other scholarship/fellowship opportunities. If an applicant has any concerns in this area, it is the student's duty to consult with a campus financial aid advisor. The University does not provide tax advice. If you have questions about possible tax liabilities, you may refer to the IRS web site: http://www.irs.ustreas.gov.
