UMD BSOS Summer Research Initiative (SRI): 
This program provides rising juniors and seniors an opportunity to increase their interest in research careers in the social and behavioral sciences, develop research skills, and learn about doctoral training with the goal of encouraging students to pursue doctoral degrees in the social and behavioral sciences. 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: 
The 8-week program will be held on the University of Maryland, College Park campus from June 5 - July 28, 2017. Students are required to arrive on campus on Saturday, June 3rd for mandatory Saturday and Sunday program orientation, but SRI programming will officially begin on Monday, June 5th. Students will be provided a meaningful research experience by working with a faculty mentor in one of our nine academic departments (visit http://www.bsos.umd.edu for department list). The program also supplements the research experience with lectures, workshops, and networking opportunities. Students are provided round-trip airfare, meals, room and board in university on-campus housing and $3,150 (before taxes – amount includes stipend and meal allowances).

Basic Eligibility:
-Junior or senior status by Fall 2017
