Eligibility

The SURF program is directed at Juniors and Seniors. Occasionally, a Sophomore may be considered who has an especially keen interest in research and a likely career path that includes graduate school. Due to the visa issues and time and likely delays to process such applications, we do not consider applicants for SURF from international students who are not already in the United States.

Description

The Department of Physiology is pleased to invite you to apply for our Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). The purpose of the fellowship is threefold: to provide talented science students:

1) research experience in physiology
2) a look at life as a potential graduate student at Wayne State,
3) a reasonable sum of money for 12 weeks of full time laboratory research training.

This year, outstanding junior or senior undergraduates will be chosen for the fellowship. Each selected student will receive $3500 for 12 weeks of summer research in a laboratory within the Department of Physiology. The program is open to all students who are not already enrolled in a graduate program, and is especially directed to juniors and seniors with a 3.0 or better GPA and an interest in any aspect of physiology. Awards will be made on the basis of academic achievement, experience, and commitment to basic research.
