The Graduate College at The University of Oklahoma Health hosts five summer undergraduate research programs aimed at preparing and encouraging undergraduate students to pursue careers in biomedical research or health-related sciences. Studies show undergraduate research programs are beneficial to the success of applying to and completing a graduate degree program.
We seek outstanding undergraduate students from around the state and the country to spend their summer at University of Oklahoma Health in Oklahoma City for a biomedical research experience in one of the best mentoring programs in existence.
Students join experienced laboratories where they work with other students and personnel to pursue their own projects over the course of a nine-week period. On the final day, students show off their progress at a poster session to the campus community. A Celebration Luncheon follows where student accomplishments are acknowledged by their advisors, awards are presented, and a former summer student returns to campus to present a Keynote Address.
Students participating in our intensive programs receive generous stipends to allow pursuit of their research activities full-time (40 hours/week) without distraction. Entry is competitive, so be sure to apply by the deadline to ensure consideration.
