 UROP: Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program

The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology is pleased to announce the SMART Summer Undergraduate Scholarship Program in Singapore. This research opportunity will enable undergraduates from MIT, NUS and NTU to participate in an MIT faculty member’s Singapore research project and interact with students and faculty from diverse backgrounds. Each undergraduate will have an MIT faculty member as a mentor/supervisor and conduct research within the faculty member’s Singapore research program. The undergraduate will have access and use of the faculty’s laboratory and equipment.

BioSystems and Micromechanics (BioSyM), Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM) and Infectious Disease (ID).

For a list of research areas/projects within each IRG, click here: BioSyM, CENSAM, and ID.

Eligibility:

MIT, NUS, and NTU undergraduates in good standing who have already or will have successfully completed their first year are eligible to apply.

Requirements:

Applicants should contact an MIT faculty member participating in the SMART program (refer to http://web.mit.edu/smart/ to view the list of faculty participants) and based upon interaction with that faculty member, submit an application that contains:


dot A 1-3 page description of the research that you would like to conduct in Singapore.
dot A recommendation letter from the Singapore faculty for NUS and NTU students. And a recommendation letter from the MIT faculty for MIT students.
dot A letter of affirmation from the MIT faculty member agreeing to host the student in his/her lab in Singapore.
dot The period you propose to spend in SMART Singapore, in general not less than two (2) months.
dot Upon your completion of the program, you must submit two evaluations: one from your faculty supervisor and the other from you. The faculty evaluation should assess your progress and inform us about your contributions to the research program. Your evaluation should describe the progress of your research project, both accomplishments and challenges, as well as an assessment of your academic and personal experience while working with SMART.
