<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b>Deadline to apply: February 1, 2017</b></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">The Amgen-UROP Scholars Program invites undergraduates to participate in faculty-mentored summer research at MIT in the life science and bioengineering/biotechnology areas. Students admitted to this program (known as “Amgen
Scholars”) will conduct and present research, attend lectures and workshops, attend a mid-summer Symposium in Los Angeles (expenses covered), network with other undergraduates with similar research interests, and develop working relationships with MIT faculty
mentors and other research staff.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Amgen Scholars learn how to collaborate effectively in research settings, investigate areas of research interest, and gain practical skills and knowledge for both graduate study and post-graduation careers. Participants
become fully integrated in MIT’s summer research community, interact with faculty mentors and fellow undergraduates, and participate in research seminars and other networking events. Most importantly, Amgen Scholars become involved in exciting research and
contribute to the advancement of science in an area of interest.<o:p></o:p></div>
