<blockquote type="cite" cite>Thinking of applying to grad or med
school? Get ahead by submitting a UROP summary, research report, or
feature article to the MIT Undergraduate Research Journal (MURJ). Not
only will you get a publication under your belt, but also your work
will be read by MIT community members and you may qualify to win
up to $225!<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Our Fall 2007 issue will have the theme
of Biomedical Research. Submissions can take the form of a:<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>*<b> UROP summary</b>- 300-600 word
summary of research that you have done in your UROP, similar to a UROP
proposal.<br>
*<b> Research report</b>- an original research paper written to
educate MIT undergraduates.<br>
*<b> Feature article</b>- an original piece about a topic of your
choice (tissue engineering, the ethics of stem cell research, health
care policy… whatever interests you), similar to a Scientific
American article.<br>
<br>
In recent months, MURJ has received an enormous amount of publicity;
our last issue featured a letter of introduction from President
Hockfield and was distributed at a university professionals conference
in July. This issue will be read by many alumni, companies, and
professors. Obviously, it will be an awesome addition to
your resume!<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We will hold a competition for the Best
Report ($100), Best Feature Article ($100), and Best UROP Summary
($25). Winners will be determined by the Editors of MURJ, and
submissions will be evaluated anonymously. Prizes will be in the form
of gift certificates.<br>
<br>
The deadline for submissions is September 25th. If you haven't seen it
already, you can check out our last issue at <a
