University of Washington faculty and students conducting research in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are invited to participate in Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium’s 2021 Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP).

This program is an excellent way for faculty to extend their summer funding through the WA Space Grant’s contribution of half of the selected student’s award payment.  Faculty contribution per student is $2,750 full-time and $1,375 part-time for a total student stipend of $5,500 or $2,750.

We will match qualified undergraduates and faculty applications but will also accept applications from faculty and students already working together.

SURP seeks to increase research opportunities for undergraduates on NASA-related STEM projects, and we particularly welcome applications from students with traditionally marginalized genders and from underrepresented minoritized communities.

UW undergraduate students in good academic standing who are interested in research in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM fields) are eligible to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and Washington state residents.  Students who attend schools belonging to the Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium may be admitted on a space-available basis.

Faculty and student applications are open now and available at https://waspacegrant.org/students/research/surp/
