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. |
