Now is the perfect time to plan for a successful career in nursing research. The NURSE program offers an opportunity to participate in deeply engaging and authentic research experiences working alongside UB School of Nursing researchers. For students who choose to excel, this summer experience can translate into additional professional opportunities to attend scientific meetings and present their research to local, or even national audiences. The benefits of an opportunity to be mentored by an accomplished nurse scientist cannot be overestimated. This 10-week summer research opportunity provides mentored, hands-on research experience.
Students will be placed with a UB School of Nursing faculty member to train with their research team. Training will take place in-person. This experience may include attending seminars with UB’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Science research program, providing an opportunity for interprofessional collaboration.
Meaningful collaborative research projects, designed in conjunction with a faculty mentor, will match each student’s interests and abilities with the needs of the research group. This award is designed as an entryway to pursuing a nursing degree and offers exposure to high caliber research in order to assist students in deciding if an academic career in nursing is right for them. At the end of the program, students will be better positioned to pursue an academic degree in nursing if they wish to do so.
Students are placed based on research interests and availability.
June 3, 2024 - August 9, 2024. Additionally, participants will be expected to present at the 2024 School of Nursing Research Day in Spring 2025.
Deadline extended! Applications are due by 5pm on April 29, 2024. Please send any questions to channy2@buffalo.edu.
Interviews may be required.
