OUT OF STATE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES


Boston University

 

Overview:

The SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship) is a 10 week research experience that supports undergraduate students for the summer at Boston University. Participants from institutions across the country are paired with BU faculty members who will serve as their research mentors. Students receive a stipend, research supplies allowance, a travel subsidy, and housing in a BU apartment during the program. As part of the program, participants also attend a series of summer enrichment workshops whose topics range from laboratory safety to research ethics to scientific writing. At the conclusion, SURFers are asked to present a 10-15 minute talk about their research to an audience consisting of their peers, other students, faculty, staff, and invited guests.
