Summer Program for Undergraduate Research

Deadline:

Today, October 31, 2016

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The SPSP Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) was created to provide an intensive summer internship in the methods of social and personality psychology for undergraduates from under-represented ethnic groups. Participating students conduct

research and research-related

activities full-time for 8 weeks.

Students will receive a $3000 stipend to cover living expenses and up to $500 to cover travel to and from the summer research site. The host lab will recieve $500 which may be used to offset costs for incidental expenses, graduate

mentor stipend, etc.

The under-representation of ethnic minorities in social psychology limits the range of voices represented within our science.

This program is designed to provide an opportunity for such students to

work in an active lab in an area they

do not have access to.
