This program is meant for students who are seriously planning to pursue a Ph.D. degree in biomedical sciences. Research projects are under individual faculty sponsorship.
All research is substantive, requiring the full-time commitment of the student.
Weekly work in progress meetings are held. The Downstate Summer Research Program is offered to full-time students enrolled in appropriate programs at their home institutions. However we do not expect you to arrange for an sponsor until your application is reviewed. Applicants will be notified no later than May 31 of their acceptance.
