Summer Undergraduate Research Program at Emory (SURE)

Opportunity Description:


The SURE program is a ten-week summer program during which undergraduate research fellows conduct full-time independent research under the direction of a faculty mentor.

Our summer researchers receive a housing award for residence on the Emory campus and a stipend to support their full-time attention to research training and professional development. Student researchers benefit from hands-on research, mentorship, networking opportunities, and graduate school preparation.

SURE provides an opportunity for students to discuss research and start building their professional network with world-renowned researchers and the best and brightest peers from Emory and other institutions.

SURE students come from all backgrounds and disciplines including the humanities, arts, social sciences, natural sciences, physical sciences and engineering.

  • NOT be enrolled in summer courses
  • Complete all pre-arrival admittance steps
  • Attend and participate fully during the entire program (May 31 - August 5, 2022)

  • Participate in all weekly seminars, workshops, discussion groups, and activities as scheduled
  • Present a poster or oral presentation during the SURE symposium
