The annual Summer Research Education in Cardiovascular Conditions (RECV) Program introduces students to research at an early stage in their careers with a goal of inspiring them to see that research can be an exciting and fulfilling career.
This year, we will hold a virtual Summer Research Education in Cardiovascular Conditions Program (RECV) from June 7, 2021 through August 13, 2021. All undergraduate and masters’ level students are invited to apply to this full time (35 hours/week) virtual program. Selected students will receive a stipend for their participation.
Applications for the 2021 cohort are currently closed.
The application for the 2022 cohort will be announced in February 2022.
RECV Information
Participants in the program attend weekly seminars and work with investigators on a variety of research topics. The program focuses on cardiovascular conditions and related topics including health disparities, ethics, genomics, clinical research, and evidence-based practice. In addition, students have an opportunity to participate in research experiences using remote technology as well as be a part of writing groups that develop peer-reviewed publications. At the end of the program, students participate in a virtual poster session.
What past participants said they enjoyed about the Summer RECV program:
“Getting exposure to amazing research ideas and mentors and making meaningful connections”
“I really liked learning about research and that I was able to have a project of my own”
“Having the opportunity to work with mentors and work on a systematic review”
“Lectures of specialists from different fields and backgrounds. Variety of topics introduced (e.g. data science, qualitative research, etc.).
“My interest in research was piqued, and I have dived into research at my college since the program”
The 2021 Summer RECV program is funded by the National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
