The
UCSF Summer Research Training Program provides undergraduate
students with the opportunity to conduct research in the
biological, biomedical, and behavioral sciences. Through
this comprehensive 9-week summer experience, the SRTP strives
to prepare students for graduate study and a research career
in the health sciences.Accepted students will be matched
with a faculty mentor by the SRTP Faculty Review Committee.
Under the guidance of his or her mentor, each participant
will complete an original project, and present his or her
findings at the end of the summer program with a written
abstract, oral presentation, and poster presentation.

In
addition to daily work in the laboratory, participants also
attend biweekly seminars and workshops: |

Basic
Science Seminars include presentations by UCSF faculty members
and introduce students in the biological and biomedical sciences
to the variety of research that takes place on the UCSF campus.
Social Science Seminars provides students in the behavioral
sciences with a thorough understanding of research methods
and ethics.
General Science Seminars, for all program participants, offer
panel discussions about the graduate school application process,
life as a graduate student, and career options for researchers,
