University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, PA

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine’s Summer Premedical Academic Enrichment Program (SPAEP) is 7 weeks in length, includes travel, room/board and a $1,000 stipend.  Hosted by the Office of Diversity Programs, SPAEP includes two levels of programming. Level I is for students who have not yet had organic chemistry (generally rising sophomores or juniors), and includes a classroom-based curriculum focusing on the basic science behind illnesses prevalent in underserved communities. Level II is a mentored lab research program.  Areas of research available vary according to student interests.  In addition, there are externally-funded positions available in autism and infectious disease research. Each participant receives a $1,000.00-$1,500.00 stipend, housing and mean plan.
