The SRP Online application is now closed for SRP 2025. Reopening in mid-November 2025.
Students must
- be currently enrolled in a university in biology, bio-physics, chemistry, bio-engineering, bio-informatics, quantitative biology, genetics, medical or other life sciences related programs
- have a minimum of GPA equivalent to a 3.75/4.0 grade or higher, or top 5% of your class
- have completed at least two years of undergraduate work up to the first year of a master’s degree before the start of the program
- show a strong interest in pursuing a career in life sciences
- must apply using the on-line application. No other formats are acceptable.
The selection is based upon
- Application – gpa and short personal and scientific essay questions. Questions found in FAQs
- University transcript or school official list of classes and grades
- One letter of recommendation
- Basic life sciences understanding is essential; previous lab experience is a plus.
Only applications with the full application material will be taken into consideration.
ATTENTION: Prepare all your short personal essays and lab choice explanations, your transcript, and contact details for your referee in advance. Once you begin your application, you must finish it in one sitting.
YOU CANNOT SAVE IT and COME BACK.
The online application usually opens each year in mid-November for the following summer.
The annual application deadline is 31st of January.
All applicants will receive an email about six weeks after the deadline with the result of their application.
