The goals of our Mentored Research
Program are to increase the number of college and university
faculty in Arkansas with active, funded research programs in
biomedical science, and to increase the number of undergraduate
students in Arkansas who pursue careers in biomedical science. For
undergraduate faculty at primarily undergraduate colleges and
universities in Arkansas, the AR INBRE’s Mentored Research
Program offers summer research opportunities on
a competitive basis. Research can be performed in a mentor’s
laboratory, in both the mentor’s and faculty fellow’s
laboratory or only in the faculty fellow’s laboratory. However,
frequent consultation and interaction with the mentor is strongly
encouraged.
Specifics of the Undergraduate
Faculty Mentoring Programs
For a Summer Fellowship, the following are provided: a salary stipend that is based on two-ninths (2/9) of the faculty’s institutional base-salary plus fringe benefits, a research supply budget, and an allowance for parking, travel and/or housing.
Criteria for evaluating proposals includes training potential, experience of the mentor, potential for extramural funding to the faculty fellow and mentor team, inclusion of women and minority applicants, and potential for continuation of the project with involvement of undergraduate or graduate students at the undergraduate faculty’s home institution.
An ad hoc committee of the INBRE Steering Committee will review all the applications and recommend funding to the INBRE director.
A long-term, ongoing relationship between the mentor and mentored faculty is strongly encouraged.Workshops on funding opportunities for mentored research awards from NIH will be provided during the project.
Undergraduate faculty interested in applying for a fellowship should contact a potential mentor with a research area of common interest. Mentors are researchers at one of the three lead AR BRIN institutions, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, University of Arkansas at Little Rock or University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. A current list of available mentors is found under Mentors. The prospective team (faculty and mentor) will then jointly prepare a written proposal. Current application deadlines are indicated below.
