Summer Undergraduate Research 2007
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program provides paid internship opportunities for students to work intensively with faculty on research projects for ten weeks during the summer. The program's goals are to introduce students to research projects in Biomedical and Health Informatics, to facilitate contact with faculty, and to increase awareness among undergraduates about this emerging field. Biomedical and Health Informatics studies the acquisition, maintenance, retrieval and application of biomedical knowledge and information to improve patient care, medical education and health sciences research. Students are expected to present their research projects at the end of the program in a mini symposium. Titles of past undergraduate projects are available for browsing.
Eligibility for the Summer Undergraduate Research Program is limited to students who are either attending a college in the State of Washington or Washington residents going to college outside of the state. Seniors graduating in the Spring or Summer of 2007 are not eligible for the program.
In 2007, we expect to offer 5 - 7 students positions with various faculty in the Division of Biomedical and Health Informatics. Applicants should browse all of our research projects web pages to get an idea of the breadth of work carried out by the UW BHI group. This year, the following faculty have indicated that they are willing to mentor summer undergraduates. These faculty usually have specific projects in mind that fit within their research interests, and you may wish to browse their web pages to understand more about these. Most of the funding for SURP comes from research grants led by these faculty and is earmarked toward specific research goals. Applicants are encouraged to contact these faculty to ask questions or find out more about this summer's opportunities.

The Annual UW Undergraduate Research Symposium
Friday, May 18, 2007, 12-5 pm, in Mary Gates Hall
Fostering a Community of Student Scholars
The Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is not only a chance for undergraduates to present what they have learned through their research experiences to a larger audience, but also an opportunity for students, faculty, and the community to discuss cutting edge research topics and to examine the connection between research and education. The Symposium includes poster and presentation sessions by students from all academic disciplines and all three UW campuses, plus invited guests.
All UW undergraduates involved in research are encouraged to apply and those not yet involved in research will discover that attending the Symposium is a great way to learn about the broad range of opportunities available at the UW. In 2006, over 540 undergraduates participated in the Symposium, with over 3500 people attending.
The Symposium includes projects from all disciplines and encourages interdisciplinary discourse, allowing students to learn from each other about a broad range of exciting research topics. To help participants prepare, the URP conducts Symposium Information Sessions, abstract writing, poster design and presentation workshops.
Participant abstracts are published in the Symposium Proceedings, and students can include their presentations on resumes and graduate school applications.
Questions about the symposium? Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
The Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities
The Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities provides a unique opportunity for selected undergraduates to earn full-time, academic credit through immersion in scholarly research with accomplished scholars and peers. Bringing together four faculty and twenty students in plenary, seminar and tutorial-style sessions, the Institute encourages mutual learning as well as independent thought.
The institute was created by the Undergraduate Research Program in collaboration with the Simpson Center for the Humanities in response to student demand for opportunities to engage in scholarly work at the undergraduate level. Conversations with and surveys of faculty in the humanities led to the concept of an intensive summer research program that would bring faculty and students together to explore an interdisciplinary theme.
he Summer Institute offers a research opportunity for undergraduates that provides them the intensive training and environment in which to pursue individual research. This scholarly experience occurs in the context of a group of students working on related projects with faculty who offer expertise from disciplinary and interdisciplinary points of view.

The goals for the Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities are to increase the number of undergraduates doing research in the humanities by providing an intensive research opportunity for humanities and arts students; to engage humanities and arts faculty in research with undergraduates; to create tools for faculty to introduce individuals and groups of students to scholarly research; to establish a community of undergraduate arts and humanities scholars; and to create a forum for humanities undergraduates to present their scholarly work.
Participants are selected through an open, competitive application process and are provided a scholarship to participate in the program. Student participants develop individual, original research ideas related to an interdisciplinary theme, create a scholarly research paper or project, work through a faculty and peer critique process and formally present their work to their colleagues and the larger community at a closing symposium.
Be sure to read Phillip Thurtle's 2005 Summer Institute Symposium closing remarks on the value of undergraduate research in the arts and humanities.
The Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities at the University of Washington is sponsored by Undergraduate Academic Affairs 
, the Simpson Center for the Humanities , the Office of Research , UW Educational Outreach , the Undergraduate Research Program, and the Mary Gates Endowment for Students .
