Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates:

2020 NIMBioS SRE Program

Due to the evolving coronavirus situation, all activities that involved travel to NIMBioS from March through December 2020 were canceled. In order to continue to provide students with research experience, the 2020 NIMBioS SRE program, originally scheduled for May 26 - July 17 at NIMBioS on the campus of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, was conducted remotely from June 1-July 10. Students collaborated remotely with NIMBioS staff, their mentors and research team, and other participants.
