The Sackler Institute at NYU School of Medicine in coordination with the Office of Diversity Affairs offers a Summer Undergraduate
Research Program (SURP) for qualified rising juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing their MD, MD/PhD, or PhD and a career in biomedical research.
The 2017 program runs from June 4th - August 5th, 2017.
Our application for 2017 will open November 1st and close January 30th.
The Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences and the Office of Diversity Affairs invites applications from students to participate in a summer research internship program in the biomedical sciences
at NYU Langone Medical Center (NYULMC). The purpose of the program is to give students who may be interested in pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences (PhD, MD or MD/PhD) the opportunity to conduct research and to be exposed to the excitement of an academic
medical environment at a major research center. Each student receives a research project with an established scientist mentor and present their work at the end of the program at the Leadership Alliance meeting and at a poster session/reception at NYULMC. Those
students who are interested in having a Physician Mentor may request assignment to a physician in an area of medicine of their choice. This student will meet weekly with the physician, attend “Grand Rounds” and clinical conferences, and where applicable, observe
the physician with patients. Students also partake in weekly seminar series, lunch discussions with scientists, and events around NYC.
Students may work with faculty in the disciplines of any of our
training programs:

Program Highlights
The program is designed for mature, well-qualified undergraduates who have completed their sophomore or junior year of college.
Qualified applicants should have a competitive GPA and at least 1 full semester of bench laboratory research. Students are selected
based on their academic record, research experience, and letters of recommendation from faculty advisors and/or research supervisors.
Significant importance will be given to their commitment to a career in biomedical research. This program is open to all U.S. students.
Students must commit to participate for the entirety of the summer program.
The NYU School of Medicine is committed to increasing the number of students from underrepresented groups in the biomedical sciences pursuing PhD, MD or MD/PhD studies. It should also be noted that this program
is affiliated with Leadership Alliance.
