Summer Program for Undergraduate Research
 
Deadline:
Today, October 31, 2016

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The SPSP Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) was created to provide an intensive summer internship in the methods of social and personality psychology for undergraduates from under-represented ethnic groups. Participating students conduct 
research  and research-related 
activities  full-time for 8 weeks.

 Students will receive a $3000 stipend to cover living expenses and up to $500 to cover travel to and from the summer research site. The host lab will recieve $500 which may be used to offset costs for incidental expenses,  graduate 
mentor stipend, etc.

The under-representation of ethnic minorities in social psychology limits the range of voices represented within our science. 
This program is designed to provide an opportunity for such students to 
work  in an active lab in an area they 
do not have access to.
