[Biostudent] LSAMP Scientist Program

[biolprog at uw.edu]

What is the LSAMP Scientist Program?

A 9-week summer research program for students with little to no research experience. Students are matched with a faculty mentor for the summer based on similar interests. The research projects are science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) focused. During the program students will meet on a weekly basis to attend workshops that focus on research skills including how to write a research abstract, how to create a poster presentation, how to effectively communicate expectations, and more. At the end of the program students will present their research to friends, family, and the UW community.

The potential mentors for 2023 can be found here:  <https://depts.washington.edu/lsamp/faculty-mentoring-committee/> LSAMP Faculty Mentoring Committee.
