Use your summer to launch a career in research with the Rhode Island Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (RI SURF).
 
RI SURF is a collaborative effort between the RI INBRE and RI NSF EPSCoR programs to engage the next generation of Rhode Island scientists. The program places qualified applicants in a 10-week summer fellowship in faculty research laboratories. SURF research projects are generated by faculty scientists who are dedicated to providing rewarding research experiences to undergraduate students throughout Rhode Island. Our Biomedical Sciences Track offers projects in toxicology, cell and molecular biology, medicinal chemistry, pathology, pharmacognosy, and pharmacology. The Life Sciences Track offers projects in all areas of the life sciences including genomics, proteomics, and the marine life sciences.
