Bass Connections summer programs give students the opportunity to conduct intensive research, usually within an interdisciplinary team.
STUDENTS can browse the programs below to learn more about summer opportunities through Data+, Story+, Global Health Student Research Training and the Summer Neuroscience Program. Students should also note that some year-long project teams include a summer research component. Students can also apply (either individually or as a group) for Bass Connections Student Research Awards to conduct research of their own design, including over the summer.
FACULTY interested in leading a summer research project should check out the project proposal guidelines for Data+ or Story+. These guidelines include suggestions for how to link a Data+ and/or Story+ summer project to a year-long project team.
Story+
Story+ is a six-week summer research experience for undergraduates and graduate mentors interested in bringing academic research to life through dynamic storytelling. Final projects may take the form of writing, websites, exhibits, short films or other outputs, depending on the project’s goals.
Summer Neuroscience Program
The Summer Neuroscience Program (SNP) is an eight-week experience that enables undergraduates to jumpstart their Graduation with Distinction senior thesis by working one-on-one with faculty mentors. The full program is open to rising juniors and seniors who are declared Neuroscience majors.
