IU Undergraduate Research Summer 2023 Programs
IU Undergraduate Research Programs through the Office of Engaged Learning run three summer research programs:
- Women in STEM LLC Summer Research Program
- IN LSAMP Summer Research Scholars Program
- IUUR STEM Summer Research Pod Program
For all three programs, students will participate in 8 weeks of research between June 5 – July 28, 2023. Participants will receive a stipend, housing, and a meal plan. Applicants must be a currently enrolled IUB student pursuing a STEM-related degree with an anticipated graduation date no earlier than December 2023.
The deadline to apply is March 20, 2023, at 11:59PM. Students whose applications are selected for further consideration may be required to interview with IUUR program staff.
IUUR programs aim to increase participation in STEM disciplines among student populations that are traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Women, first generation, students from historically excluded racial and ethnic groups, and students with high financial need are encouraged to apply.
