The SSRP-Amgen Scholars Program is a fully-funded research-intensive residential program that takes place on Stanford's beautiful campus for a nine-week period. Participants are matched with a member of Stanford's distinguished faculty and work in one of our state-of-the-art research facilities. Each participant works with both a faculty member and a lab mentor to craft a research project. The lab environment provides challenging projects and involves a broad range of research techniques that are feasible within the nine-week period. The program culminates with a research symposium, where students present individual talks and posters on their summer projects in front of their peers, faculty, lab mentors, University administrators, and general public.
