Frankel CVC Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program Application
The stipend will be paid via bi-weekly paychecks (direct deposit available) at a rate of $15 per hour (pre-tax) for ten weeks of full-time work (40 hours per week). The Frankel CVC SURF program is expected to start Tuesday, May 27, 2025, and ends Friday, August 1, 2025.
Fellows are expected to work in their mentor’s lab, attend weekly seminars, participate in organized social events, and at the end of the summer, present their summer research findings at the End of Summer Symposium where fellows give a PowerPoint presentation.
Although the program is hosted by the University of Michigan, applicants accepted into the program will be hired as temporary employees of Michigan Medicine to participate as a Frankel CVC SURF Fellow. Michigan Medicine conducts background screening and pre-employment drug testing upon acceptance of a contingent job offer and may use a third-party administrator to conduct background screenings. Background screenings are performed in compliance with the Fair Credit Report Act. Upon acceptance into the program, you will be expected to complete the required screening/testing promptly. Failure to complete or pass required screening/testing will lead to a rescinded fellowship offer.
Fellows participating in the Frankel CVC SURF program will be expected to abide by U-M guidelines and policies. Visit our FAQ Page for more information on the application process.
