ACCESS Summer Research Institute
The ACCESS Summer Research Institute application is now on our website
http://access.ucsc.edu/
We will be accepting those applications from now until March 2. Any questions can be
directed to Pam D'Arcey, padarcey@cabrillo.edu, 831 479-5620 at Cabrillo or 831 4594606 at UCSC
The ACCESS Summer Research Institute is an intensive eight-week introduction to
research methods and tools with an emphasis on biomedical sciences. Selected student
participants work under a UCSC faculty mentor on a project that focuses on current
research in an area of interest indicated by the student. Interns work with state-of-the-art
laboratory instruments, meet professionals in the biomedical field and experience the
academic research environment. Workshops are given on such topics as library research,
written and oral presentations, and computer/internet resources. Interns have the
opportunity to experience campus life, where they can explore their own academic needs
as they relate to the University (admissions counseling, academic student support
services, financial aid, graduate school, etc.). Interns live on-campus and receive a
stipend of $3000.
Students must be currently enrolled at Cabrillo, Gavilan, Hartnell, or Monterey Peninsula
College to be eligible. ACCESS seeks students who are highly motivated and will
significantly benefit from participation in the Summer Research Institute. All participants
must be US citizens or residents with appropriate documentation. In order to be eligible,
students must be ACCESS members for at least one semester.
WAVE Fellows Program at Caltech
The WAVE Fellows program provides support for talented undergraduates intent on
pursuing a Ph.D. to conduct a 10-week summer research project at Caltech. Caltech is
committed to promoting diversity within its educational programs and activities and
strives to ensure that differing cultural, ethnic, social, geographic, and economic
perspectives are represented. Caltech's WAVE Fellows program aims to foster diversity
by increasing the participation of underrepresented students in science and engineering
Ph.D. programs and to make Caltech's programs more visible and accessible to students
not traditionally exposed to Caltech. The program is extended, but not limited, to
underrepresented minorities, women, first-generation college students, geographically
underrepresented students, and educationally and financially disadvantaged students.
Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and
must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required.
Competitive applicants will have completed sophomore-level courses in desired research
field, have demonstrated through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for
research, and can articulate how their research interests align with Caltech's research
areas. The most competitive applicants will have prior research experience.
Support: WAVE Fellows will receive a $6000 award for the ten-week program. An
additional $500 housing and travel supplement will be provided.
Application: Online applications are due January 7, 2015.
