If you’re interested in combining your passion for science with exploration of a new culture, you should consider applying to the 2022 SRA Abroad. Even if you don’t speak another language, your prior research knowledge and the fact that most research groups conduct their work in English means that you could have an incredible new experience for your professional development and growth as a scientist or engineer.
What is the SRA Abroad?
Eight students from LSAMP partner schools will be selected for the eight-week long program that takes place abroad each summer. The students prepare to go abroad as a group through participation in a spring 2022 seminar via videoconference from their respective campuses. This seminar prepares participants for both the scientific and cultural components of the program.
For the summer, students are placed in individual, independent research experiences in labs or research groups at institutions abroad. Ideally, participants are paired by location/city in order to share accommodations, although they will not necessarily be placed in the same lab or even at the same institution.
The primary focus in summer will be participating in research, but students will also be required to blog about their time abroad, writing about what they’re learning both in and out of the lab. Upon their return to the U.S., SRA Abroad students will be invited to participate, all expenses paid, in the annual UT System Student Research Conference that takes place in early August.
Students selected for the SRA Abroad will receive: • A summer stipend ($4,000) • Roundtrip international airfare & housing and food allowance ($4,000)
All applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Full-time status majoring in a STEM (i.e. Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) field
- Sophomore, junior, or 1st year senior status. Students who will graduate in May 2022 or August 2022 are not eligible to apply.
- Prior research experience (must include participation for at least one summer or one full academic year). • U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.
To apply, visit the UT System LSAMP web page at: http://lsamp.utep.edu . Applications for the SRA Abroad must be submitted on-line via the link at the above website. The application deadline is October 18, 2021 and online recommendations must be submitted by October 25, 2021.
For more information, please contact Lynda Gonzales, LSAMP SRA Abroad Program Coordinator, at lyndag@austin.utexas.edu or 512-232-8345.
