Uw environmental health research experience program

The Environmental Health Research Experience Program EHREP is a funded nine week, summer experience for undergraduates with interest in an interdisciplinary field that uses the tools of science to solve human health problems related to the environment. EHREP provides students with hands on experience in laboratories of leading researchers, introduces them to key environmental and occupational health issues while offering research exposure that will help them become competitive for graduate school.

The program is meant for students underrepresented in the sciences. The deadline for student applications is February 15, Environmental and occupational health is the study of human health in the environment. Past Capstone Projects.
