Since 1992, the Leadership Alliance has encouraged students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities to pursue research careers in the academic, public and private sectors.
The Summer Research - Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) provides undergraduates with training and mentoring in the principles underlying the conduct of research and prepares them to pursue competitive applications to graduate schools. It is a gateway to ongoing resources, mentoring and professional networks to support all participants along their chosen career path. SR-EIP is also a rigorous research experience designed specifically for undergraduates interested in applying to PhD or MD-PhD programs.
