Summer Research Opportunity: CLIMB UP at the University at Buffalo

The Collaborative Learning and Integrated Mentoring in the Biosciences Undergraduate Program is a paid summer research opportunity where we match students with faculty mentors whose research aligns with their interests. Accepted students work full-time in a lab to gain hands on research experience. The program ends with students presenting their research with an oral presentation and a poster symposium! 

The benefits of being accepted into CLIMB UP:

• Research. Get hands-on research experience during the 9-week program with a participating faculty member whose interests are complimentary to your own. The summer will culminate with you and your peers presenting your work at the Summer Research Day.
• Mentoring. In addition to your faculty mentor, you will receive mentoring and guidance from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and the CLIMB leadership to ensure you have a productive and fulfilling summer. They will work with you on your research project, help you prepare your presentations, and provide insight on careers in science.
• Stipend. Funds are provided for all accepted students with a stipend of $3,500.00 and a stipend for meals. 
• Housing and Travel. Housing and travel are provided to students who live 50 miles outside of Buffalo, NY.
• Weekly Workshops. CLIMB UP's BioSTEM Scientific Discovery Series introduces students to research fields available at UB. Faculty from various departments will present an overview of their laboratory work, and will describe their career paths to show students the variety of options they can achieve with their degree.
• Networking. Learn more about fellowship and scholarship opportunities as well as building lasting connections with mentors and other students.
• Fun! Take full advantage of the beautiful Buffalo summers with social events! Explore Buffalo, participate in our events and enjoy your time in between research!

 

Applications are now open and to be eligible, students need to be an undergraduate student during the summer of 2025, have one year of undergraduate education completed and be a US citizen or permanent resident.
