The Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences in Environmental Health (SURE-EH) program provides research opportunities to UW undergrads, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, with a meaningful opportunity to work with experienced faculty on a research project addressing the relationship between environmental exposures and human health.

With funds provided by a NIEHS grant, SURE-EH trainees work as paid student researchers for up to 2 years: up to 40 hours per week during summer and part-time (up to 13 hours per week) during the academic year.  SURE-EH trainees will also be asked to present their research every spring at the UW Undergraduate Research Symposium and attend program sponsored events and courses throughout their appointment.

We are currently looking for undergraduate students to work on the following research projects (full descriptions and desired qualifications are on our website):

 

Project # 1:  Co-Developing and evaluating wildfire smoke and pesticide safety messaging for agricultural workers
Project # 2:  Impacts of enteric pathogen infections in low- and middle-income countries
Project #3:   Measuring exposure to hazards in the environment and occupational settings in the U.S. and across the world
