The Summer Research – Early Identification Program (SR – EIP)
The Summer Research Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) is a fully paid summer internship that provides undergraduates with training and mentoring in the principles underlying the conduct of research and prepares them to pursue competitive applications to PhD or MD-PhD programs.
The SR-EIP offers closely mentored research experiences in the life and physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and the humanities at 20 research institutions across the country. SR-EIP Participants:
- Spend 8–10 weeks at a Leadership Alliance institution.
- Receive a stipend, and travel and housing expenses from the research institution.
- Work under the guidance of a faculty or research mentor.
- Gain theoretical knowledge and practical training in academic research and scientific experimentation.
- Make oral or poster presentations at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium.
- Gain access to ongoing resources, mentoring, and professional networks to support your career path as a part of the Leadership Alliance community.
- Receive professional development mentoring on applying to graduate programs and learn about research careers from alumni.
Applications normally open in the fall (around November). Applications are due during the winter (around February), and research is completed during the Summer.
