Supplemental Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)

The Supplemental Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) enhances a student's research skills by enabling the student to collaborate with a Brookhaven National Laboratory scientist to conduct research on a mutually agreed-upon project. You may have the chance to offer presentations of your research results verbally or in writing; your work may appear in a contribution to a scientific journal or BNL report. The goals of SURP at BNL are to offer not only a specific learning experience but an exposure to the scientific enterprise to support future career developments.  The program requires the participant to have their source of funding or a hosting BNL researcher who has agreed to provide funding.
