Introducing bsop

The Biological Sciences Opportunity Portal (BSOP) is a new, centralized database for BSCI Terps to find and EXPLORE research, internship, and scholarship opportunities in the Biological Sciences both at Maryland and BEYOND.

How does it work?

BSOP uses a feature called Status to signal whenever the application window for a given opportunity is LIVE 🔴, meaning Terps can go ahead and prioritize applying to opportunities such as extracurricular research, summer fellowships, and other programs that are actively recruiting students.

BSOP also maintains an ARCHIVED🗃️ record of extracurricular experiences that may become available to Terps in another semester, or that they can express interest in via Cold Email.

COMING SOON🕰️ will indicate opportunities with application windows that are soon to be Live. Students are encouraged to further read about opportunities marked as CHECK WEBSITE 🌐 using the hyperlinks included with each database listing.

Advisors help students prioritize and track w/ Status

“I like the view.”

When exploring BSOP on your laptop or desktop computer, toggle and turn on Gallery view to explore opportunities with rich illustrated graphics and images.

If you’re on a mobile device, use Grid view for increased context and accessibility.

Bookmark. Explore. Apply.
