Undergraduates cannot apply directly to become IRSP interns. Instead, applications must be submitted by the IRSP faculty member or graduate student trainee who will be the intern's primary research advisor. Interested UCLA undergraduates should follow these steps:
- Contact IRSP faculty and/or graduate trainees to learn about possible research opportunities. Visit the IRSP faculty and graduate trainee pages on this site for contact information and summaries of their research interests.
- Arrange to work with an IRSP faculty member and/or graduate trainee on a research project concerning social relationships for at least two academic quarters.
- Ask your research advisor (faculty or graduate trainee) to apply for you to become an IRSP Undergraduate Research Intern. The application process is simple.
- To apply, your research advisor should email the IRSP Program Coordinator, Youssef Boroumand, and complete a very brief application form.
- Due to NSF regulations, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible for funding.
