We want to inform you about two research opportunities for undergraduate students at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque. 

The first program is called C-STEPS (Cancer Research—Scholarship and Training Experiences in Population Science). C-STEPS scholars work directly with UNM faculty and their teams to explore research and careers in Cancer Control and Population Sciences during the 10-week summer program. C-STEPS provides scholars with hands-on, skills-based research experiences across the cancer continuum, from prevention to survivorship. These activities help scholars meet graduate and medical school goals.

More information about C-STEPS can be found on the C-STEPS website. It is part of UNM’s Undergraduate Pipeline Network (UPN). If students wish to be considered for the C-STEPS program, it is highly recommended to include in the personal statement. Apply Today!.

The second program is a two-year Cancer-PREP program for post-baccalaureate students and aims to prepare them for a career in cancer prevention, basic cancer, or translational research. The Cancer-PREP experience provides fellows with a unique combination of career development and confidence-building opportunities. Cancer-PREP examines state-of-the-art research technologies and ethical issues related to biomedical research. More information about Cancer-PREP and applying can be found on Cancer PREP's website

The Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC) has been awarded a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates grant entitled "REU Site: Training in the Learning Sciences". This program seeks to promote broader participation in training in the Learning Sciences.

REU students gain experience in the Learning Sciences (research on instruction and learning) by working on projects with faculty members who specialize in this area. Interns may also work with advanced graduate students or postdoctoral fellows in the faculty members' labs.

Faculty have primary appointments in the Department of Psychology, and the Schools of Education, Law, and Computing and Information. This program is most appropriate for students who will be entering the second year of undergraduate study, but students entering the third or fourth year will be considered. No previous research experience is required. A stipend and on campus housing will be provided. Interns will be expected to devote up to 37.5 hours/week to the position. Students must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States.

This program will provide valuable experience for students who intend to apply for graduate programs and will include professional development seminars run by the program co-directors, other faculty, and LRDC graduate students. We especially welcome applications from students who are interested in applying to one of our PhD programs. Professional development programs include topics such as applying to graduate school, writing a research statement, writing a CV, the imposter phenomenon, stereotype threat, and presenting research.

The program concludes with a poster session at which the program participants present what they have learned to the entire LRDC.
