Welcome to the web site for Interdisciplinary Science for the Environment: A Summer Research Experience at New Mexico Tech.

This summer, 12-16 undergraduates will have the opportunity to conduct research on environmentally-related topics at New Mexico Tech. Each participant will be part of an interdisciplinary team of faculty and students working together on one of eight research projects. Each project is described in detail on the research projects page. In addition to research activities, students will have the opportunity to take part in weekend field trips that explore the rich environmental, cultural, and historical heritage of New Mexico.

The program begins on June 1^st and ends on August 2^nd. All participants will receive a stipend of $3,800, paid housing in the modern Altamirano Apartments on campus, a meal allowance, and reimbursement for travel expenses. For students with children, family-style housing and on-campus childcare will be provided at no charge. Students will also have the option to earn academic credit.

All students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, currently enrolled in a degree granting college or university, and will not earn a Bachelor's degree before August 2^nd, 2008 are eligible to apply. We will begin evaluating applications on March 31, 2008. Applications received by that date will receive priority. Application instructions and forms are located on the application materials page.
