³The Research
Associate Directorate conducts leading-edge research to support our signals
intelligence and information assurance missions. Our work is exciting,
intellectually challenging, and essential to the security and welfare of the
United States of America. Since 1952, NSA has been the world expert on
cryptology and electronic communications systems. Our early interest in
cryptanalytic research and flexible storage capability led to the first
large-scale and solid-state computers and the development of the tape cassette.
Today, our work takes us to the worlds of knowledge discovery, advanced
mathematics, quantum computing, nanotechnology, networking technologies and, of
course, computer systems securityŠ.We seek our nation¹s best technical talent
to join us in solving some of our country¹s urgent intelligence
problems—problems that we¹re encountering today, and problems we¹re
anticipating in the future. We especially need computer scientists, system
engineers, and industrial designersŠ.If you are a student majoring in
Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics,
Chemistry, or Biotechnology, and a United States citizen, you can receive

³The MIT Summer
Research Program (MSRP) began in 1986 as an institutional effort to address the
issue of underrepresentation of African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native
Americans, and Puerto Ricans in engineering and science in the United States.
Today, this program seeks to identify talented sophomores and juniors from a
broader array of backgrounds and from around the country who might benefit from
spending a summer on MIT's campus, working in a research laboratory under the
guidance of experienced scientists and engineers, who are MIT faculty members,
postdoctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students. Students who participate
in this program will be better prepared and motivated to pursue advanced
degrees, thereby helping to sustain a rich talent pool in critical fields of
scientific investigation.²

³UCI¹s Summer
Research Program is a combination of the Summer Undergraduate Research
Fellowship (SURF) program, University of California Leadership Excellence
through Advanced Degrees (UC LEADS) program, and the California Pre-Doctoral
Program (CPDP).²
³What is SURF?
UCI's unique Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program offers undergraduate
diversity students with outstanding academic potential an opportunity to work
closely with faculty mentors on research projects. The program provides
students who plan to pursue a Ph.D. degree and enter academic careers with the
tools needed to facilitate the application, admission, and enrollment process
for graduate school. The program is open to all academic fields (e.g. arts,
humanities, social sciences, social ecology, biological sciences, engineering,
computer science, physical science, etc.).²
For more
information, please visit www.rgs.uci.edu/grad/diversity/surf.htm
³What is UC
LEADS? The University of California recognizes its responsibility to educate
California's future leaders and continually seeks to attract to its graduate
programs individuals having a broad range of socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic,
racial, linguistic, and geographical backgrounds. UC LEADS is designed to
identify educationally or economically disadvantaged undergraduates pursuing
courses of study in science, mathematics, or engineering who are likely to
succeed in graduate school. This program provides students with educational
experiences that prepare them to assume positions of leadership in industry,
government, public service, and academia following the completion of a doctoral
degree, preferably, at the University of California. UC LEADS Scholars
participate in two summer research experiences. The initial experience takes
place on the student's home campus. The second summer research experience
occurs at another UC campus.²
For more
information, please visit http://www.rgs.uci.edu/grad/diversity/ucleads.htm
³What is CPDP?
The California Pre-Doctoral Program (CPDP) is designed to increase the pool of
potential faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of CSU students who
have experienced economic and educational disadvantages. Each of the selected
California pre-doctoral scholars works closely with a California State
University faculty sponsor while at their university to develop an overall plan
ultimately leading to enrollment in a doctoral program. Each of these plans is
tailored to the specific goals and educational objectives of the student. The
program places a special emphasis on increasing the number of CSU students who
enter doctoral programs at one of the University of California institutions.
CSU students are placed at various UC campuses for their summer research experiences.²

³What is
NSF-AGEP Summer Research Program? UC Irvine's National Science
Foundation-Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NSF-AGEP)
Summer Research Program, is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The program is designed to prepare African American, Hispanic, Native American
and Pacific Islander students for graduate education. The program offers
juniors, seniors and master¹s level underrepresented minority students in the
sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields an opportunity
to work closely with UCI faculty mentors and graduate students on exciting
research projects during an eight-week summer research program.²
