Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri)
The Biomedical Research Apprenticeship Program (BioMedRAP) is a 10-week summer research program for exceptional students interested in pursuing biomedical research careers. The program is in session late May-early August. BioMedRAP is designed to provide a rigorous, in-depth research experience to prepare participants for top-quality Ph.D. and M.D. /PhD. programs in the biomedical sciences.
As a BiomedRAP participant, you will:
-
- conduct independent research with outstanding faculty mentors
- work in a cutting edge science and technology environment
- gain exposure to some of the nation's finest biomedical investigators and an extensive variety of research topics
- receive individualized career counseling and develop your career interests
- participate in workshops, seminars and journal clubs
- build a social network with student peers and faculty
- prepare to apply to the best Ph.D. and M.D. /Ph.D. programs in the United States
BioMedRAP selects participants based on academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to diversity. We seek applicants who have challenged themselves and excelled academically; demonstrate experience overcoming substantial educational, cultural or economic obstacles; are first-generation college students, or can demonstrate a strong interest in bringing diverse people together. We encourage applications from individuals who come from rural or inner-city areas and individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in biomedical research — specifically African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, women and those with disabilities. Applications also are encouraged from international students currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in the United States. Individuals who have earned a baccalaureate degree and students who are not currently enrolled at a U.S. institution are not eligible to apply.
Priority consideration will be given to applicants with at least one year of research experience.
Applications are available online each year November 1 and completed applications will be accepted until January 31.
