“In two months, I started a new project that will take my research in an exciting direction. It was great to do experiments myself. I enjoyed the collaborative environment, both within my host lab and among other labs. I learned new techniques that I will take back to my campus to enhance the research experiences of my students. The weekly summer programs about training opportunities at Iowa will help me be a more informed advisor for my students at Grinnell.”

“My time in the FUTURE Program has been incredible in developing my love for becoming a researcher. With my mentor from my college, it was very rewarding to develop interesting questions and design experiments to answer them. The invaluable skills that we learned as a part of this program will be used at my college in order to improve our research and that of others. It has spurred a passion for life-long learning.”

WHAT IS THEFUTURE PROGRAM?The FUTURE in BiomedicineSM program invites

college professors from primarily undergraduate

institutions in Iowa to conduct a funded research

project in the laboratory of a faculty member

of the University of Iowa Carver College of

Medicine. The program also supports a talented

undergraduate from the professor’s home

institution to participate in the research project.

Throughout the summer, FUTURE Faculty

Fellows and undergraduate researchers gain

extensive laboratory experience with full use

of the University of Iowa library including off-

campus access. They have the opportunity to make

intercollegiate connections and learn about new

opportunities for further education and employment

at the University of Iowa.

FUTURE in BiomedicineSM has supported 51

First-Time Faculty Fellows, 26 Senior Fellows, and

more than 70 undergraduate students from 21 Iowa

institutions of higher learning.
