The Summer Undergraduate Research
Program at Emory (SURE) allows undergraduate students to
conduct supervised research with a faculty mentor. Students receive
training in the research methods applicable to their research plan,
analyze their data and create written and oral presentations of
their results. At the end of the summer, each participant takes
part in a formal research symposium.
Panels of faculty and graduate students help explore
mentoring issues, and make recommendations on how to choose a graduate
program and how to balance work and family responsibilities. Speakers
address their own involvement in science careers and the requirements
for success in their fields. Weekly ethics discussions allow students
to explore the ethical aspects of research careers. Awards for popular
science essays [optional submission] and scientific posters are
made at the end of the program. Approved posters and essays will
be published through our program web site.
Funding for SURE is provided in part through support and contributions from the following partners.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)
Emory Office of Undergraduate Education SIRE program (SIRE)
Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI)
Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (GDBBS)
