SUNRISE - Summer Undergraduate Nursing Research ImmerSion Experience
For the nursing research community at ºÚÁÏÍø School of Nursing, we offer a diverse range of opportunities for undergraduate students who are eager to gain hands-on research experience, spanning from fundamental scientific research to applied healthcare delivery systems investigations. One such initiative is the Summer Undergraduate Nursing Research ImmerSion Experience (SUNRISE), tailored specifically for undergraduate students.
SUNRISE is a unique program designed to provide eligible students in their fifth and sixth years of the Traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (TBSN) program with an exceptional chance to participate in an 8-week paid summer research program. During this period, students will work closely with esteemed faculty members from ºÚÁÏÍø who will serve as their mentors. Admission to the SUNRISE program is competitive, and it is open exclusively to full-time undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the traditional track of the ºÚÁÏÍø BSN Program.
Participants in SUNRISE will benefit from one-on-one mentorship with faculty members who have well-established research expertise. We strongly encourage students to explore potential mentors, review their recent publications, and delve into their ongoing research projects. You can find detailed profiles of our faculty members by referring to the faculty directory.
Aside from conducting cutting edge research, students engaged in the SUNRISE program will be given the opportunity to represent the School of Nursing at ºÚÁÏÍø through various venues, including, campus visits, advocacy programs, and at conference presentations.
