BURP Application

Welcome to the application for the Biology Undergraduate Research Program at SF State!

Before you begin, make sure you have looked at the webpages of our research faculty, have selected a lab you'd like to apply to, and you can answer why you are interested in that lab specifically.

The survey will collect some information about you, and provide some initial information to your chosen lab and mentor about why you would be a good fit.
Once you've submitted your application, look out for an email from your chosen mentor about availability and further details.

You can complete the survey more than once to apply for multiple labs.

About how many hours a week could you REALISTICALLY commit to working in a research lab? (Most UGs spend between 6 and 15 hours per week working in their labs, but this can vary and all faculty have different expectations.) Be honest here! Being less available will not necessarily count against you, and it's better to consider in advance what level of commitment you can make.

Fewer than 6 hours
Between 6 and 10 hours
More than 10 hours
