DHS Summer Research Team Program for Minority Serving Institutions

Faculty and student teams from eligible Minority Serving Institutions may apply for the DHS Summer Research Team Program to conduct 10 weeks of research at a DHS Center of Excellence. Teams include one faculty member and up to two students.

U.S. citizen students need a 3.0 GPA, a STEM major, full-time sophomore-or-higher standing at an accredited MSI, and availability for the full 10-week appointment. Participants receive weekly stipends for 10 weeks, with awards reaching up to $7,000.

Students must have health insurance coverage before and during the appointment. The program aims to increase scientific leadership at MSIs in research areas supporting DHS missions.
