The Cornell University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP-R) is a summer research opportunity that provides undergraduate participants with the opportunity to work with distinguished faculty and staff as well as network with others in their field of interest through weekly luncheons. This program will take place June 3 - August 8, 2012.
Undergraduate students, interested in gaining a deeper understanding in an engineering-related field, have the opportunity to conduct and present research over a ten-week duration under the auspices of a Cornell Engineering faculty research mentor. Through this one-on-one partnership, participants will gain theoretical knowledge and practical training in academic research and scientific experimentation. CU LSAMP-R was developed to aid in the retention of traditionally underrepresented minority groups in STEM.
CU LSAMP-R offers participants:
-Approximately 10 weeks of research (June 3- August 8)
-A research stipend of $3,400
-A round-trip travel stipend up to $300 for students living outside of Ithaca, NY
-A double room in a residential hall
-A campus bus pass or a campus parking pass
-Access to state-of-the-art laboratories, libraries, computer/study lounges, etc.
Further, CU LSAMP-R participants have the opportunity to:
-Develop a meaningful research agenda and conduct research with a faculty research mentor
-Present a scientific research talk
-Design a research poster and discuss their poster presentation of their research at a symposium on campus and
-Submit a written report at the end of the summer research activity that may lead to a publication
Interested students should go to the Cornell LSAMP website for more information and to apply.
