Regeneration Next (@Duke University) Summer Undergrad Research Fellowship

The Regeneration Next Initiative (RNI) was established by the Duke University School of Medicine to enhance discovery and applications in the broad field of tissue regeneration. RNI is pleased to announce a new 10-week summer research program designed to give undergraduate students hands-on experience in graduate level biomedical research in the area of tissue regeneration. We welcome applicants who are seriously considering joining a graduate program after completing their undergraduate degree.

Regeneration Next Summer Fellows will be selected through a competitive process and matched with a faculty mentor in tissue regeneration/ tissue engineering. The RNI Summer Research program will operate simultaneously with Duke’s Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP).

RNI Summer Fellows will participate in professional development and community gatherings organized by SROP. This will maximize the RNI Fellows’ research experience and networking opportunities. RNI Fellows will be able to attend seminars, participate in professional development workshops, and present their work at the end of their training.

Students will receive shared on-campus apartment accommodation, travel assistance, and a competitive stipend of $4,000.
