Temple AMP 2008 Summer Research Program
The Temple Alliance for Minority Participation Summer Research program gives students a preview of post-baccalaureate study and research. Students work with faculty and graduate students in laboratories on varying innovative research projects. Students have the option of participating in research within one of the following areas: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Information Science and Engineering departments. Check out what our 2008 researchers are researching this summer below!
Student participants are awarded a stipend of up to $3,000.
Requirements for Applicants:
Applicants…
1. must be a rising sophomore, rising junior or rising senior,
2. must have a minimum Science GPA of 3.00,
3. must meet with faculty and receive a faculty recommendation letter, and
4. must develop a research abstract and poster presentation to be presented at the AMP Research Symposium in the Fall of 2008.
5. cannot register and enroll in summer courses (in other words, applicants must understand that participants cannot take coursework and do summer research through AMP).
