WANT TO DO RESEARCH BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT FELLOWSHIPS YOU QUALIFY FOR?
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
We are working to compile a research portfolio composed of the research the members of POMS participate in. The goal for this portfolio is to have underclassmen look through it and hopefully be able to contact an upperclassmen for advice about gaining research experience on a particular topic. If you are an upperclassmen and wouldn't mind filling out a short survey, please continue to the Google Doc.

BIOLOGY
To get involved in Biology research, it is best to start here or with your professors. It is custom to e-mail 10-15 people when searching for a research position. Many labs aren't looking for undergraduates, so don't be afraid of rejection. Make sure to include something you like about their research in the e-mail you send. If offered an interview, become familiar with a couple of their published papers.
If you are already involved in Biology research but are interested in a fellowship or award to fund your research, there are many opportunities available:
