I am thrilled to share information about the UConn RaMP (Research and
Mentoring for Postbaccalaureates) Program; a year-long, paid NSF- funded
postbaccalaureate research training program based at the University of
Connecticut. The purpose of the program is to offer a mentored research
experience and professional development opportunities to individuals
historically underrepresented in STEM (including underrepresented ethic
groups, people with disabilities, veterans, and first-generation college
students) or those who did not have sufficient access to research during
their undergraduate careers (college graduates of lower-resourced
institutions). RaMP provides an intensive research experience, with
salaries comparable to an entry level job.
Scholars will conduct original research under the mentorship a faculty
members and graduate student mentor, participate in professional
development activities, and expand high demand technical skills in
preparation for a diverse array of STEM careers and/or graduate school.
Our website and application information can be found here:
https://genome-postbac.biology.clas.uconn.edu/. Applicants are encouraged
to visit the website to learn more about the program and review potential
research projects/mentors. The application deadline for the 2024 cohort
is March 1st.
Feel free to reach out to me at
