SUMMER RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

This list includes research opportunities that are (1) directly targeted to under-represented minorities and students attending Minority-Serving Institutions or Historically Black Colleges and Universities and/or (2) open to majority and minority students, held at institutions that are showing a dedication to building a more inclusive STEM workforce, and/or (3) held at institutions that are friends of GRAD-MAP and the University of Maryland's physics and astronomy departments. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and it is somewhat mid-Atlantic-centric. For more complete, nation-wide lists, please consult the Institute for Broadening Participation's Pathways to Science database, the Society of Physics Students (SPS) jobs database, and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) government internship database. When looking at research internship opportunities, remember that they all pay (and most pay pretty well!), and some (but not all) will offer support for travel expenses, lodging, and/or food over the summer.
