ANN ARBOR, MI, SEPTEMBER 11, 2024—The Cayman Biomedical Research Institute (CABRI) is pleased to announce that applications for our undergraduate fellowships are open.

Undergraduate fellowships are available on a competitive basis to undergraduate students who have been offered an unpaid research position by a qualified principal investigator. Up to $5,000 per academic year is available to each mentee-mentor team, with the entire amount paid as compensation to the undergraduate. The principal investigator will be responsible for the mentorship and guidance of the student during the period of the award.

"These fellowships are an excellent training opportunity for undergraduates to expand their knowledge outside the lecture hall," said Kourtney Goode, Academic Relations Coordinator at Cayman Chemical. "Hands-on research is an equally valuable learning experience that introduces a student to a potential career path and fosters the growth of their talents."

Undergraduate fellowship applications may be submitted on the CABRI website from September 10^th to October 4^th, 2024, and awardees will be notified by October 18^th, 2024.

Contact CABRI with any questions about this funding opportunity.

CABRI also provides scholarships to college-bound students who have lost a parent to SNUC (sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma) or B cell lymphoma.
