Heart And Stroke Summer Research Program
Undergraduate Summer Program in Cardiovascular Research for those from Under-Represented or Under-Served Populations GOAL The primary objective of this program is to expose undergraduate students from under-represented and under-served populations to cardiovascular research at the University of Louisville. The program is supported by a NIH Short-Term Training Grant from the National Heart Blood and Lung Institute. Students are recruited from Kentucky universities and colleges as well as others attending schools outside of Kentucky. At least eight summer research fellowships will be awarded each year.
SELECTION PROCESS The program is directed towards students who have completed at least their sophomore year of undergraduate education. Selection requirements include: • academics: GPA of > 2.8 (out of 4), • student transcripts, • a letter stating the student’s interest in research and • a letter of support from a faculty member/advisor at your institution. Applications will be reviewed by the program director and selected applicants will be sent a letter of acceptance. A list of possible mentors and a description of their research will be sent to each student selected for the program. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The research experience is for 10 weeks during the Summer. Stipends (financial assistance for living expenses) are approximately $4,000.
