University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center is now accepting applications for The Undergraduate Pipeline Network (UPN) summer research experience.  The application deadline is February 15, 2017.  Please pass along this opportunity to undergraduates you believe would be interested in our program. 

The UPN program seeks to cultivate student interest in research while helping them develop the skills needed to apply for and succeed in post-baccalaureate education. During the ten-week summer program, UPN students conduct full-time research, mentored by their lab Principal Investigator (PI) and team of postdocs, technicians, graduate students, and other undergraduates. In addition, students participate in weekly seminars and team-building activities focused on professional development and networking.

This year our program will run from May 31, 2017 through August 4, 2017, and requires a full time commitment from our students, who work on average of 40 hours per week. UPN students receive an academic fellowship (stipend) of up to $5000 for the summer.

The goals of our program are to provide the opportunity for undergraduate students to:

  • Conduct research in one of the following areas for 10 weeks at a nationally recognized Health Sciences Center
    • Brain & Behavioral Neurosciences
    • Cancer Biology
    • Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease
