B-TRUE Summer Fellows Program
May - August 2025
The B-TRUE (Baylor Transdisciplinary Research Undergraduate Experience) program is sponsoring 10 undergraduate fellows to conduct summer research in one of six academic programs (Biology, Physics, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Environmental Science, Geosciences, Anthropology, and Psychology/Neuroscience).
B-TRUE is an intensive 10-week summer research-training program for students interested in pursuing research-related careers. The program is designed to provide a rigorous, in-depth research experience across the life and physical sciences. B-TRUE will also prepare participants for top-quality graduate programs. B-TRUE offers a summer stipend, is only for Baylor undergraduates, and is non-residential (i.e., does not offer housing).
B-TRUE fellows will:
- Conduct independent research with outstanding training program faculty mentors
- Work in a cutting edge science and technology environment
- Gain exposure to research topics in both physical and life sciences
- Receive career counseling and develop career interests
- Participate in workshops, seminars and journal clubs
- Build a social network with student peers and faculty across scientific disciplines
- Receive a $4,000 stipend
Priority will be given to rising sophomores and juniors.
B-TRUE selects fellows based on academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to a research-related career. The program includes weekly lectures and workshops. The program also provides training in scientific writing and poster preparation and presentation. B-TRUE culminates with a presentation at the Baylor Summer Research Symposium.
The application includes a response to the following questions in 500 words total:
- What research do you hope to be doing this summer and what has prepared you for this work?
- How will this research experience further:
- Your career and life goals and ambitions?
- The work of the lab?
- The broader public good?
Applications are due by March 1st, 2025.
