Students selected for summer research at UC San Francisco spend up to ten weeks working with UCSF faculty members on research projects. Participants in the program take part in seminars, lectures, and social events, creating a cohesive and supportive community. At the end of the program, students give presentations of their research and get valuable feedback from students, postdocs, and faculty at UCSF. The 2023 program will be held in person from Sunday, May 28 to Friday, August 4, 2023. If you are on the quarter system, you can have your exams proctored at UCSF or start on campus at the latest Monday, June 19, 2023. For late arriving students, your end date would be the same end date as the entire cohort moving out of the dorms on August 4, 2023.
In order to be eligible for the 2023 Summer Research Program at UCSF, you must:
- Be a currently-enrolled undergraduate student. (We cannot accept students who will have earned their bachelor's degree by the end of the spring 2023 quarter.)
- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
- Have a desire to pursue a PhD in one of the disciplines offered by the UCSF Graduate Division in life/health sciences listed at right.
- Have completed at least four semesters or six quarters of undergraduate study prior to the beginning of the Summer Program.
- Be able to participate for the entirety of the program.
