PATHWAYS TO SCIENCE

Pathways to Sciences is a great resource to search out external funding and professional development programs for the summer and graduate school. The site aims to increase diversity in all STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.

TANMS REU

The Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program provides research opportunities in the TANMS (Center for Translational Applications of Nanoscale Multiferroic Systems) Engineering Research Center for undergraduates from non-TANMS affiliated colleges and universities.  Students work collaboratively with faculty, postdoc scholars & graduate student mentors on cutting-edge multiferroic technology.

CSU MATH BRIDGE

The objective of the CSU Math Bridge Summer Program is to contribute to the ability and motivation of high-potential Cal State students to apply to PhD programs in math. Based on UCLA’s campus, the five-week program includes short courses of guided reading and problem solving, and a course of preparation for the math subject GRE. This year, six students successfully completed the program and intend to take the GRE in the fall.

UCLA-HBCU VISION SCIENCE

The HBCU: Evolutionary Medicine-Pathways to PhDs program is open to undergraduate juniors and seniors from HBCUs.  Participants will work on Evolutionary Medicine topics at UCLA.  Evolutionary Medicine is the study of how evolutionary and ecological principles affect medicine and medical applications, and how medical and clinical problems generate new research questions and ideas in evolution.  Evolutionary medicine is fast emerging as an important new field in the biomedical sciences.  Representing an interdisciplinary subject that combines ecology and evolutionary biology, anthropology, psychology, zoology, systems biology and microbiology with medicine, the field of evolutionary medicine has the potential to transform the way biomedical researches and doctors examine medical questions, conduct biomedical research, and treat patience.  Summer interns will work closely with a principal investigator (PI) from UCLA’s Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department and a PI from the David Geffen School of Medicine.

 

CORNELL UNIVERSITY BREAK THROUGH TECH AI

The Cornell University Break Through Tech AI  helps college women (trans and cis), nonbinary, and other underrepresented groups in tech gain the skills they need to get jobs in the fastest-growing areas of tech: data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Developed by industry and academic leaders, you will master the skills necessary to become a successful ML engineer. Complete our ML Engineering curriculum over the summer and complete industry challenge projects hosted by leading companies during the academic year. Along the way, you will learn practical, industry-relevant skills that will help qualify you for entry-level jobs in the field, including building data analysis pipelines, and utilizing common ML and AI tools and libraries to train and validate ML models. At the same time, you will receive career coaching, mentorship, and summer internship placement support, all aimed at helping you successfully launch your career in ML and AI.
