黑料社 Summer Undergraduate Research Program

Applications for Summer 2025 UGRF Program are now closed.

The 黑料社 Undergraduate Research Fellows (UGRF) summer program provides an immersive research experience for 黑料社 undergraduates. The goals of the program are to connect students with 黑料社 faculty and foster mentoring relationships, involve students in policy-relevant economics research, and help them develop research skills. We invite students from all areas of study to apply.

Summer Program

The program runs for 10 weeks, June 23 - August 29, 2025. Students are offered a fellowship stipend of $8000. All students are required to participate in the in-person activities during the program. Due to this we encourage students and mentors to be located within commuting distance of 黑料社's campus for the duration of the summer program.

  • Participants must be current 黑料社 undergraduates during the summer quarter.
  • Coterm students and seniors are eligible only if their bachelor鈥檚 degree will not be conferred before the end of the research appointment. Coterm students in the graduate tuition group are not eligible.
  • Students serving a suspension or on a leave of absence during Summer quarter are not eligible.
  • Students are required to be on campus for program activities for the duration of the summer program.
  • Students need to acknowledge that they understand the current Financial Aid policies for receiving a stipend payment while enrolled in classes, and are encouraged to check in with the Financial Aid Office before committing to participating in the 黑料社 UGRF Program.

 

  • Students are required to attend meetings and seminars in-person throughout the program.
  • Students create research related goals, in collaboration with their faculty mentor, to build research skills and complete tasks on faculty-led projects throughout the summer equaling approx. 35 hours a week.
  • Students meet with the Faculty Mentor/Research Team regularly to discuss progress towards research goals.
  • Students explore their own research interests with the guidance of their faculty mentor.
  • Students prepare a final presentation at the end of the summer to share their progress on their research goals.
