Applications are due in the beginning of the semester.
The Graduate Division established SROP to promote access to graduate education by sponsoring research opportunities for underserved undergraduates. The goal of this program is to increase the level of diversity among students who graduate from Ph.D. programs and pursue careers in university teaching and research. All SROP participants present their work in a research symposium at the end of the program. However, all applicants will be considered without regard to race or gender. The Summer Research Opportunities Program can be a highly effective recruitment tool for departments that actively recruit applicants to the program and encourage faculty members to mentor students during the summer.
