The Bio-X program would like to announce the fourth call for applications for Undergraduate Research Awards, with funding available starting the summer of 2009.
Stanford students are eligible to participate, and should be in communication with faculty to decide on a project that may be supported by this award. The Bio-X Undergraduate Research Award will be for a total of $5200, for a 10 week period of full-time research.

Applications are available here and should be completed by faculty who are interested in having a student work in their lab. Bio-X affiliated faculty members are eligible to apply, and the undergraduate may be from any department on campus. The project should be outlined in the research description with student information provided in the lower section, if that information is known.

Students awarded the Bio-X Undergraduate Research Award will be expected to attend all scheduled Bio-X Undergraduate Research Talks during the 10 week period and will be asked to share their work with the Bio-X Program and community at the completion of their summer research.

To encourage the students to meet each other, and to learn more about the research in Bio-X and likely outside their major, we are asking each sponsoring faculty member to join us to present a talk about the work in their group.  Each Wednesday at noon, faculty members will be asked to discuss their work with the students.

Please send applications and any questions to:
bio-X_undergrad_application@stanford.edu
Applications are due by 5:00PM, Friday, April 17, 2009.
Up to two applications from each lab may be submitted for review.
