- Participants are not permitted to register for courses or to have jobs during the ten-week program.
- Participants are not permitted to accept any other summer research program.
Participants are expected to spend 40 hours a week in research activities.
- There will be required weekly meetings with the program director and cultural activities on some weekends.
- At the end of the program all participants will be required to give a public presentation of their work and submit a research paper.
- Please note that program participants are responsible for their own housing.
Additional program information such as academic year requirements can be found on the UGR website linked here: ugr.miami.edu
The application requires two recommendations- one from your faculty research mentor and another from a STEM faculty member of your choosing. Student applications are not considered complete until both recommendations have been submitted. Therefore, to help expedite your application please inform your mentors that you are applying and that an evaluation form will be sent to their UM email address once your aplication has been submitted. Completed applications (student application + faculty mentor evaluation forms) are due March 21st, 2022.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact UGR Program Coordinator Alejandra Grijak at axg5455@miami.edu.
