Program Goals

The Bernard S. and Sophie G. Gould MIT Summer Research Program in Biology (BSG-MSRP-Bio) is offered in collaboration with MIT’s Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences . The program provides a unique opportunity for students who do not have access to cutting-edge research facilities at their own institution to conduct supervised research in a fast-paced environment with state-of-the-art research facilities, and to experience first hand the academic, social, and cultural environment at MIT.

The program is designed to encourage students from low income families, first-generation college students, students from socio-economically-disadvantaged backgrounds, veterans and students with disabilities to attend graduate school and pursue a career in basic research by providing them the opportunity to conduct supervised research in an outstanding research institution, in a supportive learning environment with plenty of interaction with graduate students and faculty. Over 85% of past participants have enrolled in highly ranked graduate programs within three years of completing this summer program. A number of our summer students have been awarded Goldwater Scholarships, pre-doctoral NSF fellowships (GRFP), or Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Gilliam Fellowships for Advanced Study.

Priority will be given to students studying at non-research intensive institutions , small colleges or public universities.

MIT undergraduates are not eligible for this program. If you are an MIT undergrad, see the UROP Program website.

MSRP Alum in the News

Program Structure

During the program, students work full-time in the laboratory, participate in weekly meetings with faculty, and attend weekly academic seminars. The weekly seminars are designed to help students improve their presentation skills and to be more competitive graduate applicants, and cover topics such as applying to graduate school, giving an oral presentation, writing a research abstract, and learning about various career options available to PhD graduates. Students will also have the opportunity to attend departmental retreats, research seminars and symposia, learn about the graduate application process and meet with various MIT faculty members. The program solicits constructive and timely feedback from the students through the use of surveys.

At the end of the program students give a poster presentation on their research, submit a 5-page research summary, a one-page personal statement about their summer experience at MIT and complete a program evaluation.

All BSG-MSRP-Bio participants are eligible for application fee waivers for any MIT graduate program.

Biology students conduct parasite research over spring break

students with fish

Pictured: George Burrows (L) and Michael Rodriguez with channel catfish.

Dr. Chris McAllister (NTCC Biology) and two NTCC independent research students, George Burrows and Michael Rodriguez spent spring break doing parasitology research on fishes of northeastern Arkansas. They were fortunate to have colleagues (see group photo) along to help teach different techniques and the students learned a great deal from their tutelage.  

Many new parasite species were discovered as well as new host records and geographic distribution records.  Myxozoan parasites from several fishes were discovered for the first time. 

The next outing for students will be attending the upcoming 22nd annual meeting of the Southwestern Association of Parasitologists at the University of Oklahoma Biological Station at Lake Texoma in mid-April. George, Michael, and Dr. Mac will present their research. The ultimate goal is to publish their findings in the scientific literature.
