The Advancing Access to Careers in Medicine Scholars Program (AACMSP) is currently accepting applications. AACMSP is a competitive 8-week summer research internship for UTK undergraduate students designed to provide an in-depth biomedical research experience and professional development opportunities to promote successful matriculation to graduate education. Scholars selected for the program will engage in research under the supervision and mentorship of faculty researchers at UTHSC COM-Knoxville on the UT Medical Center campus in Knoxville. Space for this program is limited, and priority is given to rising UTK Juniors and Seniors in the STEMM disciplines.
- The Scholarship requires an 8-week commitment from the student and will run June 8 – July 31, 2026.
- Students will receive a stipend of $3,680 for their full-time commitment in the research labs (40hr/wk for 8 weeks). Students are expected to complete the entire 8-week commitment.
