The goals of the Summer Research Initiative program are to provide rising juniors and seniors an opportunity to increase their interest and learn about doctoral-level training, and provide basic research skills that can be applied in the social, behavioral and economic science fields. The program has a special emphasis on population groups underrepresented in these fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders).
Program Details
This 8-week program will be held on the University of Maryland, College Park campus from June 1 through July 23, 2010. Students will be provided a meaningful research experience by working with a faculty mentor. Research experience will also be supplemented with lectures, workshops, and networking opportunities. Students will be provided round-trip airfare, meals, room and board in University on-campus housing and a stipend of $2,700.
How to Apply
Basic eligibility requirements include junior or senior status by Fall 2010; U.S. citizen or permanent resident status; and a strong intent to immediately pursue a Ph.D. in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences upon completion of the Bachelors degree.
The application deadline is February 12, 2010.
