  1. SURF runs from May 21 through July 27.\u00a0 There is student orientation the morning of May 21 at Roger Williams University.\u00a0 After that, they are all yours!<\/u><\/u><\/li>\n
  2. <\/u>SURF students are paid through the institution at which they are working this summer.\u00a0 They will need to get on payroll using the appropriate channels and procedures at each respective institution. \u00a0\u00a0SURF stipends are $4,500.<\/li>\n
  3. Students are expected to commit \u201cfull time\u201d to their SURF work\u2026but their actual schedule is between you and them.<\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. \u00a0<\/u>If a student is working at URI (including GSO), they should contact Bj Carangia<\/strong> in the C-AIM office (bcarangia@uri.edu<\/a>; 401-874-6234).\u00a0 She will guide them through the payroll\/hiring steps.<\/li>\n
    2. If a student is NOT working at URI or GSO, they will need to follow whatever steps necessary for your department\/college\/school\/university.\u00a0 Please direct them to the appropriate folks for this.\u00a0 The C-AIM office will be issuing subcontract amendments to each institution to cover the SURF expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Each SURF award also comes with $500 for research supplies.\n
        \n
      1. At URI\/GSO, please work with Bj Carangia<\/strong> in the C-AIM office (bcarangia@uri.edu<\/a>; 401-874-6234) for ordering what you need.<\/u><\/li>\n
      2. <\/u><\/u>Outside URI\/GSO, please use your normal purchasing procedures.\u00a0 These funds will be reflected in the subcontract amendment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Housing is not provided through SURF.\u00a0 Students must secure this on their own or otherwise work through whatever institutional channels are already in place.<\/li>\n
      4. \u00a0<\/u>Please make sure that students have gone through any necessary lab safety training required at your respective institutions.\u00a0 URI-based students can attend a general lab safety training session on May 21st<\/sup>\u00a0in the College of Pharmacy if needed.<\/li>\n
      5. \u00a0<\/u>There will be a handful of events for the students to attend through the summer.\u00a0 I will provide more info about these as details become finalized.\u00a0 The expectation is that students attend as many of these events as practical, and always in consultation with you and your research team.<\/strong><\/li>\n
      6. Finally\u2026the program ends on July 27th<\/sup>\u00a0with the annual SURF Conference,<\/strong> where students will present a poster of their work.\u00a0 This is a highly attended event, run in collaboration with the RI INBRE program, and is one of the highlights of the summer.\u00a0 All mentors are encouraged to attend.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
