APPLICATIONS OPEN! 2022 BSOS Summer Research Initiative

The Summer Research Initiative (SRI) was created in 1999 by the Office of the Dean in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS). The program is designed to encourage and enhance the diversity of scholars working in the social and behavioral science fields. In that spirit, we are interested in receiving applications to the program from a broad spectrum of students, especially African Americans, Hispanic/Latino/a/LatinX students, American Indian/Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders, as well as all students with research interests related to diverse communities. We are most interested in students who plan to pursue doctoral degrees in the behavioral and social sciences.

The program provides rising juniors and seniors with an 8-week intensive experience to develop research skills, learn about doctoral training, and increase graduate training readiness. Departments involved in the SRI  include African American StudiesAnthropologyCriminology & Criminal JusticeEconomicsGeographical SciencesGovernment & PoliticsHearing & Speech SciencesProgram in Neuroscience and Cognitive SciencePsychology, and Sociology

The goals of the SRI are to:

  • Increase the knowledge of, and interest in, doctoral-level training in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences;
  • Provide rising juniors and seniors an opportunity to learn about graduate studies and the range of research and scholarship in the social, behavioral and economic sciences at the University of Maryland;
  • Provide a laboratory experience that enhances basic research knowledge and skills;
  • Provide lectures, workshops, didactic exchanges, and other programming to enhance students' knowledge of the graduate application process, negotiating the academic rigors and professional and personal challenges encountered in graduate school, and developing career paths in social, behavioral and economic sciences; and,
  • Provide mentoring and networking opportunities for students to advance their training in the social, behavioral and economic sciences

The SRI is part of the UMD’s College of Behavioral and Social Science’s long-standing commitment to increasing the number of underrepresented minorities who pursue graduate degrees in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. According to 2016 data from the magazine Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, the university ranks 12th in the country in the number of graduate and professional degrees awarded and 28th in the number of undergraduate degrees awarded to underrepresented minority students. The Summer Research Initiative is an integral part of our efforts.

The 2022 BSOS SRI will be an in-person experience. We are excited to once again host students on our campus and deliver an engaging research experience. We will continue to be vigilant in monitoring COVID-19 and to inform you should conditions change.

                        Webinar: Spatial Monitoring And Assessment Tool for Conservation Monitoring and Intelligence

                        On Thursday, December 9th, from 3:45-5:00 pm, this week's seminar will feature Dr. Drew Cronin, associational curator of International Conservation at the North Carolina Zoo. He will give a talk on Spatial Monitoring And Assessment Tool for Conservation Monitoring and Intelligence. Please see the attached flyer or the text below for connection details and abstract. The talk will be on Zoom.


                        Abstract: In recent years, a wide range of different technologies have been proposed as solutions to many conservation challenges. Often however, these technologies are presented in isolation, developed outside the conservation context, have limited ability to deploy at scale, and are provided with limited support. The freely-available SMART protected area management platform was developed by a consortium of conservation organizations specifically to address these issues. In the ten years since its initial release, SMART has expanded to become the most widely implemented protected area management solution in the world, used in more than 1,000 sites in over 80 countries. The SMART Partnership is also working with several collaborators to embrace new technologies and integrate SMART with other tools to provide a comprehensive suite of technologies and approaches to those working on the front lines of conservation. This talk will give an overview of SMART and demonstrate how it has improved conservation outcomes in numerous sites and across national protected area systems around the world. This session will also discuss the diversity of applications to which SMART is suited, how complementary systems and emerging technologies can be integrated into a single unified platform, and how these tools have supported and empowered staff on the front-lines of conservation.

                        Bio: Dr. Drew Cronin is Associate Curator of International Conservation at the North Carolina Zoo. In this role, he supports the Zoo’s mission to protect wildlife and wild places primarily through support of its conservation projects implementing SMART conservation software across Africa. Before joining the Zoo, Drew was the SMART Partnership Program Manager at Wildlife Conservation Society in New York and an Adjunct Research Scientist in the Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology Department at Columbia University. Prior to WCS, Drew was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program at Drexel University. With an emphasis on primates, central Africa, and technology, his work has primarily focused on the drivers and dynamics of bushmeat hunting, quantifying the impact of human activities on wildlife populations, and leveraging research and technology to more effectively conserve biodiversity. Drew has a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from Drexel University, and is a member of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group, Africa Section and Red Colobus Working Group.
