The program is intended primarily for students whose participation would occur between their sophomore and junior years or junior and senior years. However, others will also be considered. Applicants will be selected on the basis of motivation, scholarly aptitude, and a projection of the likely benefits to the participant. To qualify for stipend support, an applicant must be U.S. citizen (or national) or have permanent resident status. The exact starting and ending dates as well as the length of stay are negotiable. Participants are expected to spend a minimum of 40 hours per week on their research. There will be organized social and recreational activities such as biking, rafting and hiking.
