Environmental Pathology
Summer Pregraduate Research Experience in Environmental Health

The Summer Pregraduate Research Experience (SPGRE) at UNC-CH provides the opportunity for underrepresented minority undergraduate students from around the country to participate full-time in research projects under the direction of UNC faculty members.  This 10-week research education program is designed for undergraduate students that are interested in pursuing graduate studies leading to the Ph.D. degree.  Freshman undergraduates are not eligible for this program.  Likewise, students that complete their undergraduate training before the SPGRE period will not be considered.  Preference will be given to applicants that have completed their junior year and that are interested in applying to appropriate Ph.D. programs at UNC-CH.  Additional details concerning the SPGRE Program, including stipend and housing information, and on-line application instructions can be found at the SPGRE website. 
The Environmental Pathology Training Program provides support for six undergraduate students each summer through a T35 Short-term Minority Undergraduate Research Training Grant that is funded by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences.  Applicants to the UNC SPGRE Program that have identified an interest in environmental health and that express career goals that include research-related activities are considered for placement in the laboratories of Environmental Pathology Program Faculty. For more information about research opportunities in environmental health for undergraduates through the SPGRE Program, contact Dr. David G. Kaufman or Dr. William B. Coleman.
