Steps to Apply
STEP 1. | Click on the link UTMB Faculty Mentor List to view a list of Principal Investigators (PI’s)
and their discipline. |
STEP 2. | Contact research mentor and receive their approval. Obtain description or your responsibilities. (You may apply for a Stipend Program or ask your research mentor if they are able to provide a stipend. You cannot receive credit if you are given
paid employment, but a stipend to offset expenses is acceptable.) |
STEP 3. | Complete the application form for the 8-week research. The link
to the electronic application will be available here by February 15. Once the student submits the form, it will be routed to the research mentor’s email for electronic approval, and then the SRP Director. After the student has submitted
the online form, it is recommended that the student alert the mentor to approve the form. Students will receive an automated email once the form has been approved by the mentor and SRP program. |
STEP 4. | Conduct 8-week research and attend required meetings. |
STEP 5. | Present research as a Poster, approved by the Mentor/PI. Fill out required evaluations and upload all required documents to your unique folder on SharePoint. |
