The application for the 2025 Cohort of the CIRM COMPASS Program is now open!
COMPASS is a paid, 2-year research internship to support incoming juniors to conduct research in the field of regenerative medicine at UCSB. This program offers a unique blend of rigorous, hands-on research, mentorship, and practical training. COMPASS scholars will also participate in specialized workshops, seminars, and networking events, and they will have the opportunity to expand their professional network, interact with industry leaders, and gain valuable insights into the many facets of regenerative medicine.
We are seeking current UCSB students or incoming transfer students starting their junior year in Fall 2025. Students from backgrounds that are uncommon in STEM fields are especially encouraged to apply.
