Undergraduate Summer Research Program

Our 10-week Stanford Cardiovascular Institute (CVI) Undergraduate Summer Research Program is designed to train undergraduate students in cardiovascular research in the laboratories of CVI-affiliated faculty members. Undergraduate summer research at Stanford CVI is supported by the American Heart Association, The National Institutes of Health, and the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. Each student enrolled in the program receives a set stipend covering living costs.

During the 10-week summer program, students work full-time in the labs of CVI research mentors. Throughout the summer, additional programming is provided in the form of cardiovascular science seminars, panels with graduate program admissions teams, professional development seminars, social events, and career path conversations with faculty, students, and industry professionals. The program ends with a symposium allowing the students to showcase their work to the CVI community.  

The program will run between June and August 2021. Exact program dates will be forthcoming. We will be opening applications for the program on October 15, 2020, and closing applications on January 15, 2021. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
