Biomedical Research Innovation & Development to Grow Excellence in Science Undergraduate Program
The new BRIDGE UP R25 program offers a summer research experience to undergraduate students who attend Universities with limited opportunities in translational research and science. Building on institutional momentum and infrastructure at the University of Utah that is dedicated to expanding the translational research pipeline, BRIDGE UP will fortify its trainees’ critical thinking and research experience, and develop a resilient mindset to persist in high-quality graduate programs and beyond. With these additional skills, BRIDGE UP graduates will be prepared for leadership and mentorship roles in translational research career tracks.
