The IBE Undergraduate Research Fellowship offers opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in meaningful biomedical engineering research in collaboration with faculty researchers in engineering, science, and medicine. The experience is designed to expose the students to a variety of exciting biomedical engineering research going on at GW and to prepare them for future studies and employment in biomedical engineering.
The applicant must have an IBE affiliated faculty member, who agrees to serve as the mentor (see www.ibe.gwu.edu for a list of IBE affiliated faculty). It is expected that the student and the mentor will arrive at a mutually agreeable understanding on the expectations of the research. The successful student will receive a $5,000 Fellowship.
