Greetings,
I am writing to share with you a wonderful summer research opportunity at the University of Maryland, College Park intended for undergraduate students (see attached announcement). This program is geared at rising juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing a doctorate in the social, behavioral and economic sciences immediately following the completion of the Bachelors degree. All students are eligible; however, we highly encourage those from under-represented populations to apply (i.e. African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, or other Pacific Islanders).
We expect 10-12 scholars to participate in the upcoming eight-week experience (from June 1- July 24, 2009). Events and activities will include lab and research experiences, didactic science lectures, and opportunities for professional development, mentoring, and networking. Accepted students will be provided round-trip airfare, meals, room and board and a $2,700 stipend. The application deadline is February 13, 2009.
We would greatly appreciate your help in disseminating this announcement to your students and colleagues. Please refer them to our program website
