The deadline is approaching for applications for The Hormel Institute’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Internship program.

The SURE Internship program allows interns to work with scientists on biomedical research projects. This helps students expand their knowledge of basic research and gain firsthand experience learning about equipment and techniques generally unavailable in undergraduate academic programs.

Students are selected for the SURE internship program based on their high level of academic achievement, recommendations from academic leaders, college majors, and plans to pursue careers in science-related fields. Preference will be given to undergraduates going into their junior or senior year of college.

In addition to lab experience, students participate in weekly professional development courses. At the end of the internship, students will highlight their summer work and learning through a presentation and poster session.

Applications are due Feb. 11. Learn more and apply at www.hi.umn.edu/summer-undergraduate-research-experience-sure/
