Students can apply for the 2022 Summer program by submitting an application using the link. Applicants will need to provide a brief description of their research project and a letter of support from their faculty mentor. E-SURP is open to all non-graduating (must be a returning student) UCI undergraduates who are in good academic standing and who are conducting their research in a CIRC faculty lab.

Students must present their summer research project at the October 2022 Heart to Heart Training Club. This annual event is a favorite among CIRC members as faculty, students, and researchers are often impressed by the research conducted by the E-SURP participants.

Students who participate the E-SURP Program can still enroll in summer courses, upon receiving approval from their faculty mentors, as long as they meet the 400-hour minimum requirement. E-SURP is administered by the Edwards Lifesciences Cardiovascular innovation and Research Center.
