2024 Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities in RNA Biology
INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS (FRANCE)
Application Due Date – Feb 26, 2024.
Two fellowships are available to provide summer stipends to support OSU undergraduate students who wish to perform research in an RNA lab in France. Fellowships will consist of a stipend of $5000 plus $1000 for travel.
Eligibility:
1) Students must be currently enrolled full-time at The Ohio State University and must have spent at least one academic semester performing research; priority will be given to students who are carrying out research in the laboratory of a faculty member in the Center for RNA Biology.
2) Students must be planning to graduate no sooner than the end of AU of 2024
3) Student must be available for full-time research during at least 10 weeks of Summer starting no later than May.
Students selected for this international research fellowship will be expected to attend the AU 2024 Rustbelt RNA meeting held in Columbus and present a poster describing their summer research. They are also expected to attend Center for RNA Biology monthly seminar/collaborative lunch meetings held during the 2024-25 academic year. They will be expected to continue research in a CRB lab for the remainder of their time at OSU.

OSU RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS
Application Due Date - March 1, 2024.
Fellowships are available to provide summer stipend support to OSU undergraduate students who are working full-time in Center for RNA Biology faculty member labs. Five (5) fellowship positions will be funded directly by the Center for RNA Biology (CRB) and will follow the eligibility criteria listed below. One additional fellowship (Daniel Schoenberg RNA undergraduate research fellowship) will be awarded based on additional criteria. Students who are interested in being considered both for the CRB fellowships and Schoenberg fellowship should indicate this by checking the box on the application form when it is submitted.
Fellowships will consist of a stipend of $5000 to be awarded to support the student’s full-time summer work in their OSU lab.
Eligibility:
1) Students must be currently enrolled full-time at The Ohio State University and must have spent at least one academic semester performing research in the laboratory of a faculty member in the Center for RNA Biology. The same CRB Faculty member must agree to be responsible for overseeing the student’s summer research project.
2) Students must be planning to graduate no sooner than the end of AU of 2024
3) Student must be available for full-time research during at least 10 weeks of Summer starting no later than May. Students must be available to participate in a summer research poster session during the Program. Enrollment in classes while being supported by the fellowship is not permitted.

The Daniel Schoenberg RNA undergraduate research fellowship
The Daniel Schoenberg fellowship was established in 2017 by a generous donation to Ohio State University from the estate of Irene Schoenberg. This fellowship is to be used to provide support during the summer months for one outstanding undergraduate student who, upon graduation will pursue graduate study in RNA research.
In addition to meeting all eligibility criteria for the CRB summer fellowships detailed on the previous page, candidates must meet two additional criteria:
1) Candidates must have spent at least one year performing RNA research in the laboratory of a faculty member of the Center for RNA Biology
2) Candidates for the fellowship must be completing their third (junior) year of study. Because this is intended as a stimulus for graduate study, fellowship support will only be awarded for research performed in the summer months between third and fourth (senior) years.
