Due: Jan 15, 2024

Apply: https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1523

Program Duration: June 17, 2024, to July 26, 2024.

The David Harold Blackwell Summer Research Institute is a six-week competitive summer activity designed to provide research experience to talented undergraduate students. Students will conduct research in Applied Probability, Analysis, or Theoretical Computer Science, under the supervision of faculty members who are experts in these areas.

We aim to honor Blackwell’s legacy by attempting to increase the number of undergraduate students who aspire to achieve his level of excellence and widen the participation of African Americans in obtaining PhDs in the mathematical sciences.

During the program, each participant will:

• Conduct research on one of the California campuses under the direction of a faculty member
• Receive funding for six weeks of lodging, meals, and incidentals.
• Receive funding for one round-trip travel to California.

After the six-week program, each participant will continue receiving advice from their program mentor for graduate school application and get connected as needed to students with more experience.
