Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) Summer 2020


Are you interested in doing biologically-related research in Summer 2020?  Apply to UBRP!
UA’s Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) provides opportunities for UA students to participate in a paid, mentored, summer research program involving inquiry, design, investigation, research, scholarship, discovery, and the presentation of experimental results.  UBRP students select a faculty mentor and work full time (35 hours/week) for a minimum of 12 weeks during the summer, participate in professional development meetings on Wednesday afternoons, and network with other UBRP students through educational field trips and activities.  UBRP’s programs include:

  • UBRP – For students from any major, class standing, and career goal interested in conducting biologically-related research (broadly defined) in any area.
  • ASPET SURF – For students interested in pharmacology research.
  • NACP – For Native American students interested in biomedical research and in exploring careers related to reducing cancer health disparities among Native populations.
