Program Objective: To provide Latinx and low-income graduate and undergraduate students a faculty-mentored, funded research experience for summer 2021. This program provides an introduction to emerging issues and real-world training in the research skills students need to advance in their fields. Following the summer research program, students will have access to other aspects of the Adelante program including professional development and writing skills workshops, as well as fellowship, scholarship, and graduate application support.
Funding: Up to 20 student researchers will work with faculty mentors over the summer on a significant research project and be provided $4,800 disbursed in two equal payments. Research mentors will each receive $1,500 at the completion of the program. Faculty who mentor more than one Adelante student on separate projects will receive $1,500 per student. Faculty who mentor more than one Adelante student on the same project will receive $1,500 plus $500 for each additional student.
Timing: Program dates are June 7 to July 30, 2021.
