Funding and Training Opportunities

MAKE UR MARC Summer Fellowship

The Make UR MARC Fellowship has been designed to address the imbalance of underrepresented professionals in science and medicine by providing an in-depth, hands-on opportunity for students underrepresented in STEM to study alongside scientists well-established in their fields.This is a 10-week full-time paid fellowship within a UCSD laboratory for students entering their junior or senior year of college. With the guidance from the laboratory principal investigator and other staff members, the fellow will carry out a research project, which entails performing experiments, presenting their findings, and participating in discussions to determine the project’s scientific direction
