The student first secures the research project with the faculty member, and then the student and faculty member apply for the program collaboratively online. All continuing UH undergraduates with at least a 3.0 gpa who have not previously participated in the SURF-UH program (and are not graduating in spring 2016 or summer 2016) are eligible to apply. The deadline for the SURF program is Monday, March 28th.  Applications are available online at http://uh.edu/honors/undergraduate-research/uh-research/surf/index.php.

BoBI Summer Undergraduate Scholarship Program - Deadline Monday, March 28
The Biology of Behavior Institute (BoBI) is offering a summer scholarship to a continuing UH sophomore, junior, or senior student to participate in a 10-week research program during the summer of 2016. The research must be conducted in the laboratory of one of the BoBI faculty members,<http://behave.uh.edu/members> and the project must have a strong behavioral and/or neurobiological component. The BoBI Undergraduate Scholar will receive a $3500 award to conduct a full-time project during the ten-week program, and hence will not be able to enroll for course credit or receive credit for the summer research. Current SURF applicants who are applying with a BoBI faculty mentor may also apply to this program. Applicants must have at least a 3.0 gpa. The deadline to submit an application for the BoBI Summer Undergraduate Scholar program is Monday, March 28.
