The U-RISE at NJIT is a comprehensive research training program combining the strengths of Biomedical Engineering, Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Environmental Science Departments. This program seeks to support three undergraduate students per year to participate in a three-year biomedical research immersion comprised of didactic training, career development activities, individualized mentorship, and two semesters of research for credit culminating in an undergraduate thesis and scientific dissemination. This program recruits students in their freshman year, permitting the students the time to complete the whole research process from literature review, designing and performing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results and being involved in dissemination (often manuscript preparation).
While this U-RISE program financially support three students per year, the research training program is available to any student committed to undergraduate biomedical research. Please consult with your UG program advisor on how to participate in this training program.
