Are you interested in
doing biologically-related research this summer? 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 work full time (35 hours/week) for a
minimum of 12 weeks during the summer, participate in professional development
meetings on Wednesday afternoons, and can network with other UBRP students
through educational and social field trips and activities. To learn more and to
apply, please visit http://ubrp.arizona.edu. Applications
