Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships
The ITS-Davis Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program introduces undergraduate students to the transportation field through participation in our extensive research program. The program supports UC Davis and local community college students over the summer to participate in ongoing research projects with ITS-Davis academic and research faculty, professional researchers, and graduate students. The program is open to students in any major.
The program follows a cohort model: Students begin and end the fellowship at the same time, meeting regularly to discuss their research projects, attend research seminars and field trips, and, at the conclusion of the fellowship, deliver a research report and present their research findings. After our summer program ends, many of our fellows either continue to work with their research teams, go on to graduate school, and/or go on to work in transportation-related careers.
We Need Your Help
UC Davis program staff would like to continue this valuable program, but we can only do so with sufficient funding. Please consider contributing to this impactful program. Each donation, no matter the amount, helps to keep undergraduate students involved in transportation research.
