Project L/Earn
10 Week Residential Summer Research Internships
Rutgers University
May 28-August 2, 2013
Description:
The Project L/Earn program is an intensive, hands-on summer research training internship for undergraduate students from groups that have been previously under-represented in graduate schools and health research. Ten interns are selected annually from colleges and universities nationwide to participate in a ten-week residential internship at Rutgers University. During the summer, the student interns obtain research skills and "hands-on" experience in health research through a combination of coursework on statistics, research methods, research writing, ethics and health topics and an individual research project under the guidance of a distinguished faculty mentor. Many continue to conduct research during the academic year with their summer mentor or a faculty researcher at their home institution.
Qualifications/Eligibility:
Have at least one year of undergraduate education remaining after summer 2013;
Have taken at least one college-level statistics or research methods course by the time the summer program begins;
Be a U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident;
And be a member of at least one of the groups specified as under-represented in graduate education, such as, but not limited to those from racial/ethnic minority groups (African-American, Latino, Native American, and Pacific Islanders), economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and first generation college attenders.
Be able to attend all program activities in New Jersey from May 28 through Aug. 2, 2013.
Compensation/Credits:
The internships provide students with a $4,150 stipend, tuition, and room and board for the duration of the ten-week program so that they can “learn while they earn." Students also receive 3 academic credits for the program. The program will operate from Tuesday, May 28 through Friday, Aug. 2, 2013 on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Applications will be available in mid-December 2012, and are due Monday, February 18, 2013.
