Apply for a paid summer research opportunity with a faculty mentor in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SOPPS) or another discipline in the health sciences.
Three different opportunities are available:
- Health Sciences Interdisciplinary Summer Research Fellowship
- The research fellowship will be awarded to graduate or undergraduate students performing summer research within any field of health sciences. The intent is to have a student(s) from the SOPPS work with a faculty member from another discipline; or a faculty member from the SOPPS work with a student from another discipline. Faculty and students from the SOPPS, working together, may also collaborate across disciplines.
- School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Summer Research Fellowship
- School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Summer Research Fellowship for Women
- For the SOPPS summer research fellowship and the fellowship for women opportunities, Binghamton University alumni donors have provided the SOPPS a gift to support summer stipends for pharmaceutical sciences and related translational research at Binghamton University.
- Pharmacy students can choose a research faculty mentor in the SOPPS or any other Binghamton University faculty. Harpur College undergraduates must choose a research faculty mentor in the SOPPS.
- Interdisciplinary projects that are collaborative with additional faculty members in the SOPPS and other Binghamton University schools are encouraged, but not necessary.
To apply
The application is a one- to two-page “Specific Aims” format, with the following sections:
- Title of research project.
- Student name, current degree program, anticipated graduation year.
- Research mentor faculty name, school.
- Significance. What is the background of the research question to be addressed? Why is this research problem significant in terms of public health and/or basic knowledge?
- Experience. What is the experience of the student and the mentor that makes them equipped to answer this question? Is there preliminary data that this project will build upon?
- Specific Aim. What is the research that will be carried out? How will it be done?
- Deliverables. What are the anticipated results, and is there confidence that they can be carried out?
- Impact. Assuming that the research works out as planned, what are the next steps? What possible impact will the results have on the ‘significance’ explained above?
