VIP is the annual summer research program for Psychology majors, the intent of which is to give participants a head start on work that may culminate in a senior thesis. At this time, it is unclear whether the 2021 VIP will be in person or remote, but in either case we anticipate that the program will run from May 11th-July 9th. VIP students will conduct research with a faculty mentor and in some cases a graduate mentor. VIP students will attend seminars, professional development workshops, and an optional statistics workshop. Students will finally present their work to their peers, mentors, and (via poster session) the wider University community.  Program participants receive a stipend to assist with living expenses over the course of the program. Read through the Summer 2021 Information Sheet, and contact Angie Vieth, Associate DUS for Psychology, at azvieth@duke.edu, with questions. The application deadline is Monday, February 8th, and applicants will be informed of decisions by Friday, February 26th.
