This program is open to Juniors majoring in Politics, DWA, Economics or UEP and will provide a stipend for full time research on a public policy issue of importance to 洛杉矶 or the United States.
The program stipend will offer (1) financial support for 10 weeks of on-campus summer housing or (2) funds for research-related travel. For more information contact, R额济纳自由政治系. 椅子，或者 URC.
Interested students should apply using the Occidental Summer Research Program 过程. Applications are due on February 1, 2023, by 5:00 pm 通过 URC Summer Research Program Application form. If the student researcher will be traveling during the summer, then subsidized on-campus room and board will not be available, so applicants should carefully outline their travel plans or housing needs in the proposal.
如果可能的话, fellows should present their work at the Oxy end-of-summer conference and at the fall SCCUR conference. Fellows are expected to submit an abstract to urc@tbc007.net at the conclusion of their research. Additional funds will be provided in the fellows' Senior year to permit travel for the presentation of their work in a way that attempts to influence policy. Questions about the application 过程 can be directed to the Undergraduate Research Center.
