The Undergraduate Pipeline Network (UPN) Summer Research Program at the University of New Mexico provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to gain hands-on research experience in biomedical and health sciences. Participants work under the guidance of faculty mentors on cutting-edge research projects, attend workshops, and participate in professional development activities aimed at preparing them for careers in the health sciences.
Each scholar is mentored during the program by a faculty member. In addition, scholars will have regular contact with a graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, medical resident, clinical fellow, or research staff member during the entire period of their program.
Each scholar has a research project that provides the student with sufficient opportunity to demonstrate his/her ability to conduct independent research. Scholars will present their research project to the scientific community during the program’s competitive poster symposium.
The UPN Program awards each scholar a summer experience package to cover a stipend, activity fees and some meals. The UPN Program awards each scholar a research stipend up to $5000.00
