Description

The mission of this summer program is to enable undergraduates from colleges with limited research opportunities to work on important contemporary problems in science. This program will offer cross-disciplinary research experience with world-leading faculty mentors who apply the intellectual, experimental, or theoretical tools of the physical, mathematical, or engineering sciences to biological questions. 

This program seeks first- or second-year undergraduates, particularly from community colleges, in any non-STEM study programs only. Formerly incarcerated undergraduates in both STEM and non-STEM study programs at community colleges or universities are very welcome and can apply through the portal of the Princeton University Prison Teaching Initiative

Application deadline: January 31, 2025. 

All applicants must submit complete materials by the January 31 deadline for review even if funding for summer 2025 is not confirmed by then. Online interviews will commence February 1, 2025. Please find more information and the live application here.
