Medical Student Summer Research Program (MSSRP)

The MSSRP program facilitates mentored research projects for motivated first-year BU medical students. This program occurs in the summer between M1 and M2 and enhances medical students’ understanding of biomedical science and clinical research principles. The MSSRP provides a strong foundation in the responsible conduct of research.

If you need help identifying a mentor and project, there are research opportunities.

We also have resources on how to find a mentor , and how to learn more about the research area and determine whether there are resources to support the research. Once you have done all this it is time to contact faculty and ask about research opportunities: How to contact faculty.

Please also contact the program directors for additional information and guidance.
