UAB Summer in Biomedical Sciences Undergraduate Research Program

SIBS provides an opportunity for undergraduates to be instructed in techniques of modern biology while becoming integrated members of a vibrant clinical and scientific community. During the 8-week summer program, students will work with UAB faculty members on mentored research projects, intended for students with a desire to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences.

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.
