Our Network Science MURI has received a supplemental grant to extend research opportunities to motivated high school and undergraduate students during Summer 2021. The Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) will fund three apprentices from mid-June through mid-August. The apprentices will work side-by-side with MURI faculty and graduate students and will learn about running experiments, collecting and modeling data, and communicating scientific results. Interested applicants should apply directly through the AEOP apprentice website. The application portal opens on January 15, 2021 and closes on March 15, 2021.
