CURF (Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships)

CURF is here to help you in your research journey at Penn. We’re an advising office providing support to all undergraduates – from students who are still trying to figure out where their interests lie to those who have been doing research for years. Some of the services we offer include:

• Individual advising appointments
• Fall Research Expo with hundreds of students sharing their research (a great opportunity to learn about the breadth of undergraduate research at Penn!)
• Research Peer Advising: keep an eye out for an email inviting you to sign up to be matched with one of our experienced RPAs
• A weekly newsletter with announcements about research and fellowship opportunities and reminders about upcoming events and deadlines
• Information sessions on topics such as Getting Started in Research and Applying for Grants, among many others

MindCORE Summer Fellowship Program

The MindCORE Summer Fellowship Program is a paid 10-week program for both Penn and non-Penn undergraduate students. Summer Fellows are matched with select MindCORE faculty in interdisciplinary mind and brain studies based on student research interest and mentor preference. With their mentors, students embark on a research project shaped as much as possible by their interests. Click here for more.
