INTRODUCTION

The de Kiewiet Summer Research Fellowships are designed to give University of Rochester students in the B.S. and B.A. Tracks in the Program in Biology and Medicine an opportunity to obtain substantial research experience in the laboratories of Program Faculty. The Faculty in the Program include all members of the following departments along with many faculty from other biomedical departments: Biology , Biochemistry and Biophysics , Microbiology and Immunology , Neurobiology and Anatomy , Neuroscience , Oral Biology , Pharmacology and Physiology. Students in their junior year are invited to submit competitive applications.

De Kiewiet Fellows work for ten weeks during June, July and August in the lab of their research mentor, give an oral presentation of their work near the end of the 10 weeks and present a poster in the UPBM Poster Symposium in October of their fellowship year. Fellows receive a stipend for the fellowship period. Deadline for proposals is usually March 15.
