Description: |
Caltech's Amgen Scholars program introduces students to research under the guidance of seasoned research mentors. Students experience the process of research as a creative intellectual activity.
Amgen Scholarships will be offered in the following Fields: biochemistry • bioengineering • bioinformatics • chemical and biomolecular engineering • biopsychology • biotechnology • chemistry • immunology • medical pharmacology • microbiology • molecular genetics • molecular medicine • molecular pharmacology • molecular, cell, and developmental biology • neurobiology • neuroscience • pathology • physiological psychology • physiological science • statistics • toxicology
The Amgen Scholars program is modeled on the grant-seeking process:
Students collaborate with potential mentors to define and develop a project. Applicants write research proposals for their projects and a faculty committee reviews the proposals and recommends awards. Students carry out the work over a 10-week period in the summer, mid-June to late August. Amgen Scholars can attend weekly lunch meetings, dicussion panels, weekly faculty dinners, and field trips. At the conclusion of the program, they submit a technical paper and give an oral presentation at SURF Seminar Day, a symposium modeled on a professional technical meeting.
