Through an annual Summer Scholars Research Program, the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) offers undergraduate students opportunities to gain hands-on experience tackling today’s most challenging areas of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) and collaborate across many disciplines of science, engineering, and clinical practice, including cell and molecular biology, chemistry, engineering, and physiology.
Students accepted to the program will carry out research under the supervision of prominent biomedical scientists, participate in a range of scientific and professional development activities, network with leaders in the field, write a research summary, conduct an oral presentation, and have the opportunity to see their work published. Selected scholars receive a $6,000 stipend for the 10-week period (May 27 – July 31, 2026) and housing at Wake Forest dorms.
Application deadline: January 15, 2026, 5 pm ET | Applicants notified by March 15, 2026 | Program Dates: May 27 – July 31, 2026
