About the Frankel CVC SURF Program
The Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center (Frankel CVC) is pleased to offer a 10-week summer undergraduate research fellowship program to engage undergraduate students in basic, cardiovascular research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Fellows are matched to a laboratory led by a Frankel CVC faculty member conducting research in areas such as atherosclerosis, genetic cardiomyopathies, blood clotting disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular biology, and heart failure. In addition to working as a laboratory assistant within their mentor's lab, fellows will attend weekly scientific seminars, participate in organized social events, and close the summer with an oral presentation of their research findings to faculty, staff, and peers at the End of Summer Symposium.
The fellowship stipend is paid via bi-weekly paychecks (direct deposit available) at a rate of $15 per hour (pre-tax) for ten weeks of full-time work (40 hours per week).

University of Michigan Anti-Racism Statement:
“Michigan Medicine unequivocally recognizes racism as a public health issue, and we should stand out as leaders against inequality. We are committed to creating fundamental change that leads to a culture of anti-racism, and a medical school and health system that are leaders in equity, justice, and inclusiveness for people of all colors.
As part of this, we are passionate about ensuring that Michigan Medicine is a leader in health equity. We must be vocal about the fact that people of color in America remain negatively and disproportionately impacted by violence, limited access to quality health care, and poor health outcomes. We must move to understand and eliminate these disparities.
Michigan Medicine recently formed an Anti-Racism Oversight Committee that is working diligently with leadership, the White Coats for Black Lives chapter, as well as our Office for Health Equity & Inclusion, and others to ensure that this movement is not a moment in time but, instead, leads to actions and real and sustainable change.
Creating an anti-racism community is consistent with Michigan Medicine's core values and is a health equity issue that will lead to improved access to quality care and reduced disparities for people of color.” Click here for more Anti Racism Support and Tools.
