The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program is funded in part by the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). The goal of this national research program is to give undergraduate students who might be interested in graduate school and a career in biomedical research the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in a research lab and perform biomedical research in pharmacology or toxicology. Students spend 10 weeks working in the lab and earn $3,000. If you have any questions, contact Dr. Mayeux.

The SURF 2013 application is now available for download. The dates for the program are Monday, June 10 through Friday, August 16, 2013.

Mayeux by e-mail or at (501) 686-8895 to request a hard copy of the application if you are having problems downloading the fillable pdf application file or the doc application file.

The completed application and letters of recommendation must be received by Dr. Mayeux not later than Wednesday March 6, 2013. Students will be notified of their status by March 29, 2013.
