Application Open for 2025 BSOS Summer Research Initiative (SRI)

 

If you are thinking about grad school or are interested in research, getting undergrad research experience is an important step. This program provides rising juniors and seniors with an 8-week intensive experience to develop research skills, learn about doctoral training, and increase graduate training readiness.

The general goals of the SRI are to:

• Increase the general knowledge of, and interest in, doctoral-level training in the social and behavioral sciences among our participants and to;
• Provide rising juniors and seniors an opportunity to learn about graduate studies and the range of research and scholarship in the social and behavioral sciences specifically here at the University of Maryland.

We achieve these goals by:

• Providing laboratory or research experiences that enhance the basic research knowledge and skills of the participants;
• Providing lectures, workshops, didactic exchanges, and other programming to enhance students' knowledge of the graduate application process, negotiating the academic rigors and professional and personal challenges encountered in graduate school, and developing career paths in social and behavioral; and,
• Providing mentoring and professional networking opportunities for students to advance their training in the social and behavioral sciences.
