Undergraduate Research
Summer Research in Germany The Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE) program, run by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), gives U.S. and Canadian students in the fields of biology, chemistry, earth sciences, engineering, and physics the chance to spend a summer working with German doctoral students on serious research projects. The doctoral students help integrate the undergraduate directly into the lab work, and they serve as personal and professional mentors. All participants receive stipends from DAAD to help cover living expenses, and the partner universities and research institutions help in finding housing. A PDF of this information can be clicked on the right --> The application deadline is 31 January 2008. Thank you Dr. Azize-Brewer for sharing the information (UCSD-CAMP)		DAAD PDF HERE We encourage you to visit the RISE website (http://www.daad.de/rise/en/) for more information.

Graduate Research
Colorado State Fellowships Information about two fellowships for our LSAMP students. They are the “Bridge to the Doctorate” (BD) fellowship and the Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) fellowship at Colorado State University. The BD and AGEP fellowships are tremendous opportunities for those students who aspire to one day become a faculty member in a STEM field. The fellowships may provide the incentive to your students to become a role model and encourage other underrepresented students to pursue their academic careers as well. See the links to the right as well as the PDF files -->		Links (and PDFs) Bridge to Doctorate PDF AGEP PDF
