Undergraduate Research Opportunity
We are thrilled
to announce IMPACT— Innovative Minds Partnering to Advance Curative Therapies —
for the 2019-2020 academic year. The Mayo Clinic Health System IMPACT program,
in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, gives undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in novel
hypothesis generation to address real-world health questions alongside Mayo
Clinic and Mayo Clinic Health System scientists and physicians. We would like to invite you and your students
to be part of this outstanding research opportunity! Over the past six years,
the IMPACT program has engaged interdisciplinary teams of 850 undergraduate
students from 35 private, public, technical, and community colleges.
This year’s IMPACT
topic asks student researchers to investigate the following question:
What is the
mechanistic link between binge alcohol drinking, addiction, and the function of
the neuroimmune system? The IMPACT Team recommends “The Role of Neuroimmune Signaling in Alcoholism”
as a reference article for student teams as they begin their hypothesis
generation.
Student teams will
present a poster at the 2020
Symposium, to be held March
7 at Mayo Clinic Health
System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. In
addition to the poster presentations, the top 10 teams (selected through review
of written submissions) will give oral presentations. The IMPACT Symposium also
offers students networking
opportunities with physicians and scientists from
Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Health System. Each student on the winning team is
awarded a $1,000 cash prize and a paid summer internship at Mayo Clinic Health System in
Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Each team will
require one faculty mentor, and all faculty mentors are invited to attend the
symposium as well. Teams of students from multiple disciplines are especially
encouraged.
Please visit the IMPACT
website for the specific
challenge topic, deadline information, and submission guidelines. Each team
must register
online by November 22, 2019. Ongoing updates and reminders will be
shared on the IMPACT Facebook page.
Faculty
members, please share this opportunity with your
students and contact us directly with any questions about the program.
