students with the opportunity to conduct research in the basic biomedical sciences: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Biological and Medical Informatics, Biomedical Sciences, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Developmental and Stem Cell Biology, Genetics, Neuroscience, Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenetics. The goal of this ten-week summer experience is to prepare historically underrepresented and marginalized students for graduate study and a research career in the health sciences. Students complete an original project under the guidance of a faculty mentor whose work is closely aligned with the student's research interests and experience. At the end of the program, undergraduate students present their findings in written abstracts and give oral and poster presentations at a research symposium attended by faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.</p> <p>The overarching objectives of the UCSF SRTP are:</p> <ol type="a" start="1"> <li>To provide access to this opportunity for students from a diverse range of backgrounds. This objective is achieved through targeted recruitment and admissions processes that are focused on students who may be first generation to college, from underrepresented in science groups, or attending non-research-intensive institutions that lack facilities and funding for undergraduate research experiences.</li> <li>To increase the number of students who enroll in and successfully complete graduate degrees in science and pursue careers in the U.S. biomedical workforce. This objective is achieved by providing talented undergraduates with a mentored, sophisticated, and transformative experience of engaging in world-class, health-focused, basic science research at UCSF. The intensive research placement is paired with a rigorous co-curriculum and activities that prepare students for a successful transition into a top-tier PhD degree program and eventual scientific career.</li> </ol> <h2>Additional Information</h2> <p><strong>Contacts for questions and additional info:</strong></p> <ul> <li>D鈥橝nne Duncan, PhD, Assistant Dean for Diversity and Learner Success</li> <li>Yvonne Garcia, MS, Diversity and Outreach Program Manager</li> <li>Jessica Ip, MA, Diversity Programs and Events Coordinator</li> </ul> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:gd_diversity@ucsf.edu">gd_diversity@ucsf.edu</a></p></div> </main> </div>  <div id="col-nav"> <aside id="sidebar"> <div class="sidebar-item"> <h2 id="edition" class="sidebar-header"><a href="/">2024-2025 Edition</a></h2> <nav id="cl-menu" aria-label="Primary"> <ul class="nav levelzero" id="/"> <li><a href="/welcome/">Welcome from the Chancellor</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/schools/">Schools and Programs</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/programs/">Academic Programs</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/residency-fellowship/">Residency and Fellowship Programs</a></li> <li class="active isparent"><a href="/university/">University Support Offices</a> <ul class="nav levelone" id="/university/"> <li><a href="/university/basic-needs/">Basic Needs for Students</a></li> <li><a href="/university/campus-life-services/">Campus Life Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/first-generation-support-services/">First Generation Support Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/graduate-professional-student-association/">Graduate and Professional Student Association</a></li> <li><a href="/university/guardian-scholars-program/">Guardian Scholars Program</a></li> <li><a href="/university/housing/">Housing Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/initiative-maximize-student-development/">Initiative to Maximize Student Development </a></li> <li><a href="/university/international-students-scholars-office/">International Students and Scholars Office</a></li> <li><a href="/university/learning-resource-services/">Learning Resource Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/library/">Library</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-postdoctoral-scholars/">Office for Postdoctoral Scholars</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-career-professional-development/">Office of Career and Professional Development</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-diversity-outreach/">Office of Diversity and Outreach</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-institutional-research/">Office of Institutional Research</a></li> <li><a href="/university/office-registrar/">Office of the Registrar</a></li> <li><a href="/university/registered-campus-organizations/">Registered Campus Organizations</a></li> <li><a href="/university/restorative-justice-practices/">Restorative Justice Practices</a></li> <li><a href="/university/safety-services/">Safety Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-disability-services/">Student Disability Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-financial-services/">Student Financial Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-life/">Student Life</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-health-counseling/">Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Services</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-rights-responsibilities/">Student Rights and Responsibilities</a></li> <li><a href="/university/student-veteran-military-support-services/">Student Veteran and Military Support Services</a></li> <li class="active self"><a href="#" onclick="return false;">Summer Research Training Program</a></li> <li><a href="/university/synapse-ucsf-student-voices/">Synapse: UCSF Student Voices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/academic-administrative-calendar/">Academic and Administrative Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="/accreditation/">Accreditation</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/course-catalog/">Course Catalog</a></li> <li class="isparent"><a href="/course-search/">Search Courses</a></li> <li><a href="/catalogcontents/">Catalog Contents</a></li> <li><a href="/azindex/">Catalog A-Z Index</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="sidebar-item"> <button id="print-btn" href="#print-dialog" onclick="showPrintDialog();
