The University of Maryland College of Behavioral and Social Sciences Summer Research Initiative is an 8-week program to provide rising juniors and seniors an opportunity to increase their interest in 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. Students will be provided a meaningful research experience by working with a faculty mentor in one of their nine academic departments: African American Studies, Anthropology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Economics, Geography, Government and Politics, Hearing and Speech Sciences, Psychology, and Sociology. Students will be provided round-trip airfare, meals, room, and board in University on-campus housing and a stipend.
