Undergraduate
Summer Research Internship Programs
Two programs have been established at the University of Connecticut Health Center for undergraduates to pursue research opportunities. The first is primarily for students who have an interest in obtaining a Ph.D. in the biological and biomedical sciences (Basic Research) and the second is primarily for students who wish to do research and also gain exposure to clinical medicine or dental medicine (Clinical Research).
Basic Research
The University of Connecticut Health Center invites applications for a limited number of summer research internships from highly qualified and motivated students who have completed at least their sophomore year and have an interest in obtaining a Ph.D. in the biological and biomedical sciences. Students will have the opportunity to participate in research activities of a laboratory at the Graduate School under the direction of a faculty member. The purpose of the program is to provide a research experience and the opportunity to learn about ongoing research programs at the University of Connecticut Health Center.

Clinical Research
he purpose of the program is to provide a research enrichment experience and some exposure to clinical medicine or dental medicine. The faculty develop and make available suitable project descriptions from which students may select a research opportunity. The student will meet with the faculty sponsor and develop a research protocol in June. The student will commit approximately 30+ hours per week for the project and will work with the faculty sponsor or his/her designates. Approximately 8-10 hours per week have been set aside for clinical experientials and other enrichments. A $2,500 - 3,000 salary is provided. Assistance in locating housing is also provided.
