The department of Integrative Biology and Physiology (IBP) at the University of Minnesota is proud to host this AHA Institutional Award for Undergraduate Training. The UPRIME program is centered on the principles of merit-based academic achievement together with unfettered opportunity and access for the selected undergraduates to engage in excellent biomedical research in the cardiovascular sciences and related fields.
The program provides opportunities for biomedical research, educational support and career advising. It is our hope that this holistic approach builds a space for inclusive excellence in which UPRIME scholars can acquire the tools needed for success.
We will track successes of each trainee, and view the program a success if the vast majority of our UPRIME scholars go on to fulfill their career goals, which were articulated and refined during their training period in our program.
The program is led by the Integrative Biology and Physiology department chair, Dr. Joseph Metzger.
