The iSEED funds the Collaborative Learning and Integrated Mentoring in the Biosciences Undergraduate Program (CLIMB UP) and is an excellent opportunity for undergraduates who want to gain research and lab experience.
Dates TBD (10 weeks)
CLIMB UP will match you with a participating faculty mentor whose interests are complementary to your own. You will work on your own research project and get hands-on experience during the 10-week program. The summer will culminate with you and your peers presenting your work in a poster symposium and an oral presentation.
In addition to your faculty mentor, you will receive mentoring and guidance from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and the iSEED leadership to ensure you have a productive and fulfilling summer. They will work with you on your research project, help you prepare your presentations, and provide insight on careers in science. Being part of the iSEED Summer Research Experience could be the start of lifelong friendships and mentor relationships.
Funds are available to provide a stipend (paid biweekly) for accepted students. On-campus housing is available for those 50 miles and more outside of Buffalo, NY
*US citizens or permanent residents only; unfortunately we are unable to offer stipends to students who do not fit these criteria.
We know it's important to take full advantage of the beautiful Buffalo summers. Events include the annual program picnic, craft night, end-of-summer field trip and more!
