http://www.cse.emory.edu/sciencenet/undergrad/SURE/SURE.html

Available during the summer for research on-campus at Emory.  Application deadline is second week of February.  However, don't push this off until the last minute.  Many things need to be done prior to the deadline, such as finding a mentor, writing a proposal, etc.  Contact Cathy Quinones via LearnLink for more information.
 

SIRE Program for Undergraduate Research

"Emory's faculty produces world-class research and scholarship and has a strong commitment to teaching.  One place that these dual commitments meet is in undergraduate scholarly inquiry -- when undergraduates work with faculty as apprentice researchers and scholars."

SIRE is a Research Partners Program that helps students get involved in research by matching students and faculty in research partnerships for one academic year.

SIRE Research Partners:
- Open to second and third year students in all fields
- Includes summer research
- Travel awards
- On-campus research opportunities
- Deadline is May 21st for the academic year
- Students without work-study are paid hourly
- Students meet with graduate SIRE fellows weekly for workshops to support skill building
