RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY IN HIV-1 RNA (ROHR)

sponsored by The Center for Structural Biology of HIV-1 RNA (CRNA)


Apply here by January 10, 2025


ROHR is an opportunity for undergraduate students to join one of the participating laboratories for an 8 to 10-week summer research experience during summer 2025. Applicants will be selected on a competitive basis. Students will be matched with laboratories according to their research interests and their top 3 laboratory choices provided on their application form. Students will most likely be matched with their top choice. Each selected undergraduate will work on projects under the direct supervision of faculty, postdoctoral fellows and/or senior graduate students. 


Some of the student activities will include:


Living expenses will be provided through funding from the CRNA, an NIH U54 grant, in collaboration with other existing REU programs at participating institutions.

 

If selected, additional information including dates, funding, and housing, will be provided once you are matched with your institution and you will be notified by January 17, 2025.
