The Summer Research Apprentice Program (SRAP) is an intensive, seven week, paid summer research program held at the University of Wyoming.  Students that have completed their sophomore year of high school by the time the summer program starts, and/or those that are current high school juniors and seniors are eligible.

SRAP was designed in 1985 to provide minorities, first-generation college bound, and female students the opportunity to gain first hand experience in science, mathematics, engineering, and other related science research.  SRAP is funded by  Wyoming NSF EPSCoR.
Participants are chosen primarily, though not exclusively, from the Rocky Mountain region (including Nebraska and the Dakotas) to attend the program each summer.   According to interest, participants are paired with a University of Wyoming professor and spend their days in the laboratory performing various research experiments.
Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to Chemistry, Energy Research, Ecology, Botany, Molecular Biology, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Nursing, and Psychology.
