The Summer Biomedical Training Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) provides biomedical research experiences for U.S. citizens and permanent resident undergraduates, particularly those underrepresented in these areas who are interested in receiving a Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. in the biomedical or behavioral sciences.  Students from across the country complete a ten-week research experience with energetic faculty in state-of-the-art facilities at UMBC.  This 10-week program offers a cross-disciplinary research experience in the 7 participating science and engineering departments. The program benefits include: round trip transportation, on-campus housing, meal allowance and a stipend.  As a participant in the Summer Biomedical Training Program (SBTP) students also participate in a GRE Prep Course.  This course is geared toward providing a thorough preparation for each of the sections of the GRE.  At the end of the summer, the participants participate in the Annual Summer Research Festival hosted by the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences.  This event serves as the culminating event for all of the summer research programs on campus and features poster presentations by approximately 70-80 summer researchers, with 3-4 students selected to give a ten-minute oral presentations.  For more information visit http://www.umbc.edu/meyerhoff/Undergrad/summer/
