After Reed
Biology Post-Baccalaureate Research Fellowships (PBR)
Reed Biology seniors may apply for Post-Baccalaureate Research (PBR) Fellowships to conduct research with a faculty mentor during the summer immediately after their graduation. Awarding decisions are based on the seniors' current progress on their thesis and the potential to further develop or complete this project given additional research time. On rare occasions this award may be related to progress on independent research related to a course other than thesis. Learn more about this research opportunity and access the application on the Biology Summer Research webpage.
