It’s spring. And that means another session of thought-provoking, experience-building SURF-IT research opportunities is right around the corner. The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Information Technology program, sponsored by CALIT2 and UROP (UCI Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program), is now entering its ninth year. Self-motivated, high-achieving undergraduate students are urged to apply for spots in the 10-week summer program, which offers hands-on research experience under the tutelage of faculty mentors, as well as a $2,000 stipend. The application deadline is May 6.
This year’s projects include:
• iSelfControl: Can an app promote self-regulation in children with ADHD?
