DESCRIPTION
MURPPS pairs participants with
faculty members to perform research.
Participants also engage in academic
seminars, preparatory courses,
tutoring, special advising and local and
national conferences.
Participants attend weekly academic
seminars and GRE preparation during
the academic year. During the
summer, eligible participants engage
in 8 weeks of research (minimum 30
hours) and 2 weeks of GRE
preparation
The President's Undergraduate
Fellowship Program (PUF) supports
undergraduate students doing
research or creative projects under
the guidance of UC Davis faculty
members. Past projects have involved
laboratory research, field studies,
survey research, film production,
design and creation of art elements,
music composition, fine arts
performances, travel to library or
research collections, and many other
endeavors.
UC Davis stands as one of the
nation's premiere institutions in
computational and quantitative
biology: the number and quality of
researchers who work at this interface
cannot be equalled at any other single
institution. Many of these scientists
value undergraduates as junior
partners in research. We encourage
you to seek out opportunities to apply
your new skills in quantitative biology
and bioinformatics by doing
undergraduate research in the area
most appropriate to your interests.
The Summer Undergraduate
Research Fellowship Program
(SURF) supports undergraduate
students doing research or creative
projects under the guidance of UC
Davis faculty members. Past projects
have involved laboratory research,
field studies, survey research, film
production, design and creation of art
elements, music composition, fine arts
performances, travel to library or
research collections, and many other
endeavors.
TSFP students conduct laboratory
and field research and/or science
teaching internships, while
participating in weekly seminars, and
learning to present their work orally
and in writing.
Are enrolled in a University of
California undergraduate degree
program in the physical, life, or
computer sciences; engineering; or
