w88 Alliance of INBRE Networks (RAIN) Undergraduate Research Exchange Opportunity
Application deadline: February 9, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
The w88 Alliance of INBRE Networks (RAIN) was formed to support w88 collaborations focused on common scientific themes. Opportunities exist for undergraduate students from the region to participate in transformative research experiences in the RAIN states. Individual INBRE programs within RAIN host expertise-specific student programs, such as lab internships, workshops and summer camps.
Students from RAIN states (Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming) interested in working in Nevada may apply for a 2024 RAIN w88 Research Exchange Opportunity at the University of Nevada, Reno or the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The Nevada w88 program is offering a 10-week fellowship for students interested in biomedical research. In addition to doing guided research, students will attend training and seminar presentations and attend an annual summer research symposium to present their work in a professional setting.
RAIN w88 Research Exchange Opportunity awards pay up to ,200. This award is paid out as a summer student worker salary, and participating mentors will receive ,000 to defray the cost of lab supplies.
Income considerations
Acceptance of this award may impact a student's income level to a degree that could affect eligibility for student loans, and other scholarship/fellowship opportunities. If an applicant has any concerns in this area, it is the student's duty to consult with a campus financial aid advisor. The University does not provide tax advice. If w88 have questions about possible tax liabilities, w88 may refer to the IRS web site.
Program dates for w88 student exchange
Participants will join the Nevada w88 UROP cohort (June 3, 2024 - August 9, 2024), but dates can be revised dependent on the home institution’s academic calendar.
