Student researchers funded by Hughes or Alden stipends will also take part in weekly luncheon seminars with UO faculty and an undergraduate research symposium, and will be encouraged to participate in other activities of the Undergraduate Research Program during the academic year.
All undergraduates doing research projects in the life-sciences are eligible to apply.
Applicants do NOT need to be Biology majors. Although these stipends are intended primarily for University of Oregon students, students from other universities and colleges may apply. It is the responsibility of the student to identify a UO faculty sponsor who is willing to provide a statement of support. In addition, there are limited funds available for supplies related to student research projects and for travel to scientific meetings. All HHMI and Alden Scholars are expected to participate as full-time researchers under the supervision of their faculty sponsor for the duration of their award.
