Tufts Building Diversity in Biomedical Sciences (BDBS) Program
A 10-week mentored research experience for students interested in future PhD or MD/PhD studies, including scientific seminars, workshops on academic and career guidance, and organized social activities.
Fifteen students who will be sophomore or junior level college undergraduates in March 2024 will be accepted into an 8-week paid summer program (2024 dates: June 3, - July 27, 2024) to work with faculty members on mentored research projects. US Citizens or Permanent Residents are eligible to apply; International Students are not eligible.
SIBS is intended for students with a desire to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences. The Program is open to students having no local campus access to research experiences and are underrepresented in the sciences. We anticipate that successful candidates will typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 ("B") or higher, especially in science, math and related areas.
Eligibility Requirements
- U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
- Completed at least one year of college and will not graduate before the summer program starts.
- Underrepresented in the biomedical sciences.
