Participant Responsibilities SROP participants are expected to pursue substantive research projects over the course of the program, and are required to make a full-time commitment to their research. Mandatory weekly meetings and seminars are also scheduled. Full and active participation in these weekly events is expected. GRE preparation classes are provided. At the end of the eight-week program, a final abstract and a final paper or poster presentation at the SROP symposium are also required.
Research projects are under individual faculty supervision.
Students are encouraged to indicate the specific area of research in which they are interested, if possible. However, the program cannot guarantee that the students will work in a preferred area of research. Faculty mentors reserve the right to make final research placements. The School of Graduate Studies will cover the housing costs of students who choose to live in the University's on-campus housing facilities. Students are responsible for covering the cost of their own board.
