Who is this program open to?
This program, sponsored by the American Heart Association, is available to undergraduate students with a demonstrated interest in cardiovascular science who have completed more than 60 credits and have a grade point average of 3.25 or greater.
Priority selection will be given to students who have contacted a potential mentor from faculty members participating in the STCSI, but who have not yet started research projects, and to students with long-term (more than two years) commitments to their mentors’ laboratories. Penn State students are required two additional semesters in the lab after the completion of the STCSI summer program. For non-Penn State students, the student can work with a mentor at their home institution but the training plan and outside activities must, in spirit, be similar to those at Penn State. Priority is also given to students who demonstrate a strong interest in cardiovascular science and those that have been accepted as trainees in participating faculty research labs.
When does this program run?
This research will be conducted during summer 2020 (10 weeks from May 26 to August 7) under the direction of one or more faculty members.
Will a stipend be provided?
Yes. A stipend of $4,000 will be provided for each student.
What is required to apply?
1. 1-page research description/proposal
2. Official transcript
3. 2 Letters of recommendation
What is the deadline?
March 1, 2020
