Faculty Research Mentors

Each SF2UF fellow is matched with a UF faculty mentor, with whom the fellow is expected to participate in mentored research through all three program years, including part-time research in the fall and spring semesters, and full-time research in the summers.

All faculty selected for this program are principal investigators on current NIH research grants and have exceptional records of undergraduate mentoring.
