Stanford Summer Reasearch Program (SSRP) - Amgen Scholars Program - Application Deadline

Are you a sophomore, junior, or non-graduating senior? Want to conduct research at Stanford University?

The SSRP-Amgen Scholars Program is accepting undergraduate students for the opportunity to conduct research in biomedical and biological sciences.

The Stanford Summer Reasearch Program (SSRP)-Amgen Scholars Program is a fully-funded research-intensive residential program that takes place on Stanford’s campus for a eight-week period from June 21 – August 16, 2025. 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 eight-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.

This program is intended for students pursuing PhD programs.

What are the benefits?

• Professional development workshops
• Expansion of students’ knowledge in various scientific fields through faculty lectures and journal clubs
• Guidance in the process of applying to PhD programs
• Personalized assistance with graduate school personal statements, CV’s, and presentation skills
• Summer housing, meals, and travel to and from Stanford
• $4,800 stipend and flex card

• Undergraduate students enrolled in accredited four-year colleges or universities in the United States, Puerto Rico or other U.S. territories; and
• Sophomores, juniors, or non-graduating seniors (who are returning in the fall after SSRP to continue undergraduate studies).

• A cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or above; and
• An interest in pursuing a PhD (or, in exceptional cases, those interested in the MD/PhD will also be considered)
