Undergraduate Research Opportunties: REFUNDU

The REFUNDU program is an undergraduate research program for UND students that is funded by the Dean's Office of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The goal of the program is to enhance the ND INBRE initiative to attract talented basic and behavioral science undergraduates to professional careers in the health sciences. The program provides a 10-week summer research experience under the direction of selected faculty members in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The research themes will include opportunities for research in the basic, behavioral and translational sciences. Seminar programs will cover the range of basic science to community-based research programs.

The REFUNDU program has 10 openings for the summer of 2012 for rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. Participants will receive $4,000 based on a 10-week, 40 hours per week research experience. Interested participants must complete an application, including an autobiographical sketch, and submit their college transcript and two letters of recommendation. Application deadline is Friday, March 25, 2012. The program begins Monday, June 6 and ends Friday, August 12, 2012.
