There are two fellowship programs: The Undergraduate Research Fellowship (URF) allows students to conduct microbiology-related research with an ASM member at the student's undergraduate institution and the Microbiology Undergraduate Research Fellowship (MURF) allows students from historically excluded and underrepresented groups to conduct microbiology-related research with an ASM member at their home institution or at a sponsoring U.S. institution. Funds for the Undergraduate Research Fellowships are provided by the American Society for Microbiology. |
