Junior and Senior Undergraduate Opportunity

|
NV INBRE Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP)
Applications due: 03/20/2020 at 5:00pm
The UROP Program is INBRE's flagship undergraduate research program where
junior and senior level students
work on an independent research project for 10 weeks over the summer. This program provides student recipients with an award of $6,000 as a summer student worker, and each mentor receives $600 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 during the 10 week research period.
Eligibility
Students must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:
- U.S. citizens or have a valid employment authorization document (EAD) permitting you to work in the U.S. (DACA students are eligible)
- Continuing student enrolled in Fall 2019 classes. You are not eligible if graduating in May 2018.
- 3.0 minimum GPA
- Undergraduates enrolled at UNR, UNLV, NSC, CSN, GBC, TMCC, SNC or WNC, OR students from Western IDeA states (Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico or Wyoming). Students from other states referred by the Institute for Neuroscience may still apply, regardless of location.
- Priority is given to underrepresented/educationally disadvantaged students.
- Preference will be given to applicants who have not received an INBRE UROP award in the past.
