The Biomedical Sciences Summer Research Program is a ten-week summer research training program for undergraduates with interests in biomedical and health sciences research. The SRP began in 2003 and has grown to include faculty research laboratories in the Departments of Biomedical Sciences, Physical Therapy, Clinical Laboratory Science and Speech Pathology and Audiology in the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University. This is a unique opportunity for undergraduates to become immersed in an independent research experience and other enrichment activities under the guidance of a faculty mentor during the summer. The program is full-time (40 hr/week) and participants receive a $5,000 stipend for their participation.

Student research projects span an array of biomedical and health issues. Please visit the SRP faculty mentor website for a list of participating faculty mentors and a brief description of their research interests.
