Program Overview
SSRP in situ offers returning SSRP students the opportunity to apprentice in a Rockefeller laboratory under the mentorship of a graduate student or a postdoc. Returning SSRP students can apply the skills they learned during the previous summer to contribute to an ongoing research project. As an apprentice in a laboratory, students will experience how a biomedical research group operates — in addition to conducting research, they will participate in lab meetings, attend scientific lectures, work with various core facilities, and be guided toward independence in the lab.
SSRP in situ students will also have the opportunity to participate in SSRP courses and workshops and will receive dedicated mentorship from the RockEDU team, in addition to laboratory mentor(s).
How to enroll
Committed SSRP alumni should register through our official online application system. Only students who have participated in past SSRP cohorts are eligible to enroll. In order to participate, returning students must commit to the entirety of the seven-week(+) program — we can not accommodate attendance gaps.
The link for this will be available in late October, 2024. Stay tuned.
