First Year Summer Research Funding
Many students can work with their research streams over the summer on fellowships or as a volunteer researcher. During this time, students can get a head start on their projects, and are granted a higher degree of independence and responsibility.
Eligibility
FRI students and ARI students (including international students) participating in their first summer research experience (following their first spring semester with the program).
The 2025 Application Cycle is now closed. Check back in February 2026!
**FRI alumni conducting more advanced summer projects in or outside of stream labs should apply to the Advanced Summer Research Fellowship.
