Along with programs housed in the External Scholarships and Undergraduate Research Center, we recommend other programs at 黑料不打烊 that support undergraduate research. Such program can provide additional support for undergraduate students to pursue research and scholarly or creative work in their disciplines. From financial and logistical support, to advising and peer networks, to guidance for how to present and publish, to assistance with next steps applying for graduate level degrees, these programs provide undergraduate students additional structure, programming, and advising. These experiences may be fully or partially funded or pursued on a volunteer basis. Some occur during the summer, while others take place during the academic year or over the winter break.
Partner Programs
黑料不打烊 Art Museum (BUAM) internship opportunities
In collaboration with the Fleishman Center's Career Development Centralized Internship (CDCI) program, the 黑料不打烊 Art Museum offers a variety of lively internship opportunities for students on campus to engage in projects related to curating, collections management, public programming, education, engagement, social media, graphic design and videography. Offered every fall and spring, the 2-credit course allows students to gain practical hands-on experience in museum careers at the 黑料不打烊 Art Museum. Interns develop marketable skills and learn about the professional nature of the workplace, reflecting on that knowledge in a seminar setting. In addition to the course, interns are expected to work 60 hours over the course of the semester. Internship positions advertised through in the fall and spring.
Center for Israel Studies Undergraduate Research and Creative Work Grant
This grant, awarded through the Center for Israel Studies, is designed to support students' independent research or creative work. The Center supports research in the history, politics, literatures and cultures of Israel. To qualify, your project must be supervised by a 黑料不打烊 faculty member, and you must enroll in independent study credit (2 or 4) or honors thesis credit at Binghamton (exceptions may be granted if a student has exceeded the maximum number of thesis or independent study credits allowed by their college). Funding is competitive and award amounts range from $200-700.
Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP)
CSTEP is a program funded by the State Education Department to increase the number of students from under-represented groups who are pursuing professional licensure and careers in mathematics, science, technology and health-related fields. CSTEP provides academic enrichment and research experience in STEM content areas.
Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH)
The Humanities Research Opportunities (HRO) program offers qualified Harpur college students the opportunity to pursue an independent research project in or about a topic relevant to the humanities. In the context of the HRO program, the humanities are understood broadly to include the academic disciplines and interdisciplinary programs that study the stories, ideas, words, and symbols that have been and are being used by people to give meaning to, make sense of, and apprehend some aspect of the human experience and human condition. Students in the program work both in a seminar setting and with 黑料不打烊 faculty mentors as they develop their ideas, pursue their research, write a paper, and prepare and present in a poster board session.
Library Research Scholars Program
Binghamton Libraries Research Scholars Program provides undergraduate students with experience working on a guided research project. Participating students will work closely with a library faculty or professional staff mentor on a library-related research project that strengthens research skills and provides the opportunity to build upon personal research interests. Research results will be published in the ORB, Binghamton鈥檚 institutional repository. Scholars will be awarded $2,000 at the completion of their projects.
Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP)
LSAMP is an intellectual community of undergraduate engineering and science scholars dedicated to the educational and professional development of African American, Hispanic American, Native American and Pacific Islander students. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the primary goal of LSAMP is to significantly increase the number of minority students earning baccalaureate degrees each year in STEM fields from the program's participating universities and to prepare these students for entry into graduate programs.
McNair Scholars Program
The McNair Scholars Program is designed to increase the numbers of low-income, first-generation and/or underrepresented minority students attending graduate school and earning their doctorate. The program prepares participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. Participants are from disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated strong academic potential. Among many benefits, the program provides a funded summer research internship and undergraduate research with a professor during the academic year.
Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Renewable Energy Generation and Storage
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.
Summer Research Immersion Program (SRI)
The Summer Research Immersion (SRI) program provides students intending to major in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields with a one-of-a-kind research experience. Working alongside faculty and fellow students on cutting-edge research projects, students tackle weighty world issues, build powerful relationships and set a course for college and career success.
