The Summer Urological Research Experience (SURE), is a great opportunity for students to move beyond the classroom learning experience to gather the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a career founded in the biomedical sciences. SURE is designed to provide a one of a kind research experience to students in the hope to foster an interest in students in the areas of urological and cancer research.

The James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute provides a unique opportunity for young scientists to work alongside some of the leading researchers in urology and oncology while utilizing a broad range of techniques and methodologies. The Department has the unique ability of providing young researchers with a chance to see how research done at the bench can be translated into patient care.

In addition to the vast amount of research experience that will be gained during the program, students will be given numerous opportunities to attend lectures and seminars given by the University's and the Department's numerous gifted faculty that will prepare them for the paradigms, problems, and technologies in biomedical research.

In addition to providing participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical training in research and scientific experimentation and other scholarly investigations, the program offers a stipend of $3,000 for the ten weeks that the program is active. Housing is provided near our undergraduate campus and the University maintains a shuttle service that provides convenient transportation between the medical school campus and the undergraduate campus.

This year the program is scheduled to run from Sunday, May 24th through Saturday, August 1st, 2015. Interested parties should have their application materials submitted no later than February 1st, 2015.

This summer internship program requires a full-time commitment. Interns should be prepared for long days and short weekends. It is not permissible to take academic classes or hold other employment during this internship. There are no vacations during the program.
