Types of Opportunities
There are many paid opportunities for participation in summer
research programs. The major sources of funding for these programs
are:
The following list of links is
based on a search done in November, 1998. You should think of these
sources as a starting point; new web pages announcing programs appear
daily and we strongly urge that you do your own search as well as
using the resources provided here. Some of the links lead to programs
that existed in previous summers; it is reasonable to expect that
most of these opportunities will be available in the future as
well.
