At a glance

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) at Rutgers University's Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is a 10-week NIH-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program designed for highly motivated undergraduates interested in pursuing research careers in pharmaceutical and environmental sciences. Participants engage in full-time research across various disciplines, including Pharmacology and Toxicology, Environmental Health Sciences, Pharmaceutics, Medicinal Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Clinical Pharmacy.

SURF provides undergraduates with hands-on research experience under the mentorship of Rutgers faculty. The program includes training in laboratory or clinical research, roundtable discussions, seminars on research careers, career development workshops, and a field trip to a pharmaceutical company. The fellowship culminates in oral presentations where students share their research findings.

Who can apply

  • Currently enrolled undergraduate students at a university in the United States.
  • Previous independent laboratory or clinical research experience is not required.
  • Must be available for the entire 10-week program duration.
