Purdue undergraduates are encouraged to participate in the First-Time Researcher (FTR) fellowship during the upcoming spring semester. These opportunities are specifically designed for students who are new to college-level research, having completed less than a full semester's worth, including any summer research experiences.

The ASBMR Annual Meeting is the world’s largest and most diverse meeting in the bone, mineral and musculoskeletal research field, attracting more than 2,500 attendees from more than 50 countries, including clinicians and researchers, representing all career levels and specializing in a variety of disciplines.

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to gain hands-on research experience and explore advanced education and research careers. The program offers a 10-week immersive summer research experience, where selected students work either on Purdue's West Lafayette or Indianapolis campuses with faculty and graduate student mentors. Students will get to work with cutting-edge research tools in science, engineering, and technology
