Research Experiences

The Leadership Alliance offers summer research experiences in all academic disciplines. SR-EIP participants are engaged in scholarly research projects offered at 22 member institutions. These programs also offer weekly seminars and regularly scheduled field trips, as well as social and cultural activities. The institutions set high standards and offer outstanding, closely mentored research experiences in the areas that are indicated in the "Program Sites" section of the application. With one common application, students can apply to up to three of 22 program sites. Interested students should review these research areas carefully and make selections that best match their own interests and experience with the institutions’ programs. Students should also check each institution’s website at View Research Sites for specific information on research opportunities and program requirements, before submitting the application form.
