Biomedical Summer Training and Engagement Program (BioSTEP): UW-BioSTEP is a summer research program run jointly by the Department of Microbiology and Department of Pharmacology. The program is focused on engaging undergraduate students currently enrolled in WA state in hands-on biomedical research at the University of Washington.

Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program: PREP is a training program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with the goal of bringing undergraduate students to the UW for one year, following their graduation with a Baccalaureate degree, during which they will perform laboratory-based research. The expectation is that this year of lab hands-on experience, supplemented with some courses, will facilitate the student’s subsequent enrollment into graduate school in the biomedical sciences.
