CREATE’s paid summer research internship spans 9 weeks starting in late May and takes place at UT Austin's main campus. Applicants can anticipate working a minimum of 20 hours/week in a research laboratory within various departments, including Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Molecular Biosciences at UT Austin. During the program, participants are matched with a faculty research mentor to explore at least one project centered on a current STEM research topic. At the conclusion of the program, participants showcase their contributions during a poster session held in late July. 

​

Throughout the program, participants can refine their laboratory techniques, network with UT faculty and student researchers, earn course credit via UT Extension, and receive financial support via a research stipend.
