The Independent Research
Summer Program is a multidisciplinary initiative
that includes opportunities for research studies in molecular and cellular
biology, genetics, developmental biology and microbiology among other
fields. Starting in 2012, IRSP has expanded to include field research opportunities in ecology and environmental science. It consists of 1 week
of research literature training and orientation conducted and supervised
by ARCC faculty and 10 weeks of full time research under the guidance
of a University of Minnesota faculty mentor from one of the above bioscience
disciplines. Students earn three semester credits upon successful completion
of their research project assessed by the presentation of a thesis research
paper. For more information about participating University of Minnesota
