KUH KURE – Kidney, Urology, and non-Malignant Hematology (KUH) Undergraduate Research Experience program is an NIH-funded Summer Research Program allowing you to learn about advances in “KUH” research and be mentored in your research project in a lab by the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s renowned KUH community of investigators. This 12-week program (8 weeks on campus) allows you an in-depth experience in biomedical research.
This is an opportunity for first-generation students from an URM to join Tulane Urology for two months via the PIPE program, which is designed to integrate participants into ongoing laboratory and clinical research projects, therefore introducing participants to methods of research, providing participants with hands-on laboratory training, and familiarizing participants with the essential aspects of scientific writing, among other program components. In addition, this program will foster personal and professional development, provide career guidance, and demystify the application steps of admission to a medical school, be it Tulane University School of Medicine or elsewhere.
The Gap Year Research Internships are designed for students who anticipate graduating or who have graduated with a Bachelor or Master degree and with the motivation to enroll in graduate and/or professional degree programs within the next 12-18 months, but need time to consider career options.
The mission of the STAR program (Student Training And Research) is to serve as a recruiting mechanism and provide outstanding, hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a research PhD degree in biomedical sciences, nursing, or biostatistics at Augusta University. STAR participants engage in research in a supportive environment under the guidance of an Augusta University faculty member and their research team. This level of experiential training provides participants with excellent preparation, relevant knowledge, and practical skills needed to pursue a research career.
