URISE Trainees going away for their Summer Research Experience will continue to receive their URISE stipend in addition to financial support specific to the SRE (ground transportation, airfare, lodging, and meals). If the SRE Host program provides financial compensation, Trainees may be eligible to receive that on top of what URISE provides.*

Monthly Stipend: 

• $1,195 starting July 2024

• Two stipends in July

• One stipend in August and September

*URISE Trainees may not receive funds from another federal source while they are on Trainee Appointments with NIH. Upon admission to an external summer research program, URISE Staff will reach out to the host program to learn more about the financial package.

September 2024 Symposium Dates & Times: 2024 Dates TBD!

Trainees who go away for their Summer Research Experience are required to present at the annual Summer Research Symposium on the research conducted during the SRE.

The first steps to getting ready to leave for your SRE are: 

1. Meet with Becky Miller ASAP. Email ramiller@pdx.edu with 3-4 meeting times that work for your schedule. Bring the following to our meeting:

   1. Spring class list

   2. SRE program information, including the website for the program, and contact information for the person who coordinates logistics

   3. Program Dates 

AFTER we meet, then: 

2. Review travel procedures, email exitooperations@pdx.edu with any questions.

3. Meet with Sarah Taylor (sbt@pdx.edu) to begin coordinating travel

4. If your SRE begins before the end of spring term, contact your Spring term instructors to let them know you will need their help and flexibility. We are working on a letter that you can provide to your instructors.
