Subject: APPLICATION OPEN: UMICH Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity
Importance: High

Dear Colleague,

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, future plans are still uncertain, however, I am sending this email with the hope that you will share our program information with talented undergraduate students at your institution. The University of Michigan Frankel Cardiovascular Center (FCVC) plans to offer a 10-week Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) for the summer of 2021. The 2021 FCVC SURF program is expected to run between June and August, but exact program dates and format will be forthcoming.

Program Description

Each student will be matched, based on their interests, to a laboratory that is led by a FCVC faculty member. This collection of laboratories is involved in internationally recognized research in topics such as atherosclerosis, genetic cardiomyopathies, blood clotting disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular biology, and heart failure. The stipend will be $4,000 for ten weeks of full-time work, typically starting the Tuesday after Memorial Day and ending the first week of August (exact program dates pending). The program includes scientific seminars, social events, and a two-day research symposium where fellows present their research to their peers and FCVC faculty and staff.

The application link OPENS TODAY, December 14, 2020 and closes January 31, 2021. Visit our website for the application link: www.tinyurl.com/fcvcsummerfellowship.

I have attached our flyer to forward on to students you feel may be interested. For questions, please reach out to fcvc-surf.

Best wishes,

Daniel Michele, PhD
Director, FCVC Summer Fellowship Program
