Application Form

The application 2023 application period is now CLOSED!

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis so submitting your application as early as possible is highly recommended.

NOTE: We will directly solicit letters from your references.

Please complete the application form below. The following items will need to be uploaded and should be prepared in advance (the Adobe PDF file format (.pdf extension) is preferred).

1. Academic transcript(s) (unofficial versions of your transcript(s) are fine).
2. A brief personal Statement of Interest (maximum of 500 words, font size 11 or larger, one inch margins, single or double spaced) on your research interests, previous experience/training (if any), and how participation in this summer research program will contribute to your academic and professional development.
3. Resume or CV with current and accurate contact information.
4. Contact information (name, email, phone) for two individuals willing to provide a reference for you. We will directly contact your references to solicit your recommendations.
5. You will also need to choose five research mentors (see the full list HERE) whose research most closely aligns with your interests. We will try to accommodate you in the laboratory of the first research mentor you choose. However, if that research mentor is already claimed by another student, we will systematically move down your list and select one of your other top mentor choices. We will always notify you of which research mentor you have been aligned with, and we will always work with you to ensure that your final choice of research mentor fulfills your research interests.
