Discover a future in biomedical research this summer through the OMRF-OKC VA Langston University Biomedical research Scholars Program. This program starts with an 8-week, paid summer research experience where Langston Scholars will be guided by senior scientists while working on individual projects in cutting-edge labs. The discoveries made during this program could not only shape your future but also contribute to advancing treatments for human diseases.
During the 8-week summer program, Langston Scholars will have the opportunity to:
- Perform bench research guided by laboratory mentors
- Attend weekly seminars and professional development workshops
- Participate in social and cultural events
- Write, with the help of their mentor, an abstract summarizing their summer project
- Give a short, formal scientific presentation outlining their research findings
- Attend a celebratory luncheon in honor of their accomplishments
Our Langston Scholars will also receive many perks during their time at OMRF, including free breakfast on workdays, free 24-hour gym access, free parking as well as free dormitory-style housing.
Following the successful completion of the summer program, scholars may explore options to continue their work for multiple academic years, enjoying longer-term mentorship and employment opportunities.
Please apply to join us as a Langston Scholar and help us shape the future of science!
