URH Summer Research Program

The URH Summer Research Program (SRP) is an umbrella summer research initiative at UC San Diego composed of 8+ 8- or 10-week programs that place undergraduate students in mentor-directed research cohorts. The SRP provides paid stipends to participants, research mentoring, and opportunities to present at the Summer Research Conference. Individual programs within SRP focus on different areas (for example metabolic disease, astronomy, engineering and transfer-student support) and have program-specific requirements.
