The Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities Center is about “promoting and celebrating” mentored scholarship. Undergraduate research has been a longtime cornerstone of the College’s commitment to academic excellence. Our goal is to provide undergraduate students that opportunity to engage in mentored or independent scholarship.

Looking for mentored research opportunities for this summer?
MHI SUMMER is a program dedicated to providing research experience in a cardiovascular lab at UNC for a diverse group of individuals. For the past six years, MHI has provided research environments for over 100 undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, many of which matriculated to STEM careers, graduate school, or medical school. The MHI SUMMER encompasses research, mentoring, and career development.
Five undergraduates will be selected for the MHI SUMMER program. The program consists of a 10-week mentored cardiovascular research project that addresses an important scientific question. The MHI-SUMMER students will interact with lab members in their respective labs daily and meet with their mentors weekly.
In addition to working in a research lab, the MHI SUMMER students will attend sessions that cover responsible and safe research conduct, a weekly journal club to discuss and learn about cardiovascular science, and a career development series. The program concludes with attending the Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Scientific Sessions in Baltimore 2025.
