The Summer Research Institute seeks to provide you an opportunity to engage in research with a professor in your field at the University of Arizona; due to COVID-19, we may or may not be able to place all students with a mentor. A data science skill buiding course is available for students without faculty mentors. Note: a UROC support team will ensure you are able to meet the goals of the program.
For those assigned mentors, you will most likely be invited to participate in your mentor's ongoing research project or a focused project will be discussed.
The research objectives of the program are substantial and will require your full-time commitment. You will be expected to work on your research project and writing class for a total of 40 hours a week and attend required workshops and seminars.
I am glad I was given the chance to participate; it truly changed my life and opened doors for me.
