Looking for your next step in life science research? Do you want to participate in cutting-edge research and learn skills that local biotech companies are seeking? The mission of the SRI Career Accelerator Program (SRI-CAP) is to bridge the gap between life science research and careers by providing students with hands-on projects, industry connections, and personalized career support. SRI-CAP empowers students to gain real-world experience and build successful futures in Utah’s biotech and health sciences fields. The initiative is supported by the Talent Ready Utah Life Science Initiative passed by the Utah Legislature in 2024.

The program is designed for College of Science students with more than 60 credits at the University of Utah, and ideally, at least some of the required lab courses completed (see details below). SRI-CAP students will be placed in a research stream with their peers and will conduct research on a real-world project. While participating in SRI CAP, students may enroll in independent research credit. In addition to research, students will hear from industry experts, participate in panels and networking events, visit local industries, and receive expert feedback on their resumes. This program is designed to help advanced College of Science students engage in project-based research experiences and professional development.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED ON A ROLLING BASIS.
