International Research Experience

RM-AMP International Research Experience (IRE) programs are subject to change based on the availability of funds.

The Rocky Mountain Alliance for Minority Participation (RM-AMP) has developed the International Research Experience (IRE) for students at both 2-year and 4-year institutions to provide laboratory research or field experiences at international locations. As part of the IRE program, students are provided up to $1,500 to cover transportation or incidental costs, as needed.

All students involved in RM-AMP’s IRE agree to participate in one pre-survey and two post- surveys to establish the effectiveness of programming.

RM-AMP International Research Experience (IRE) programs are subject to change based on the availability of funds.

Requirements: 

  • Applicants must meet RM-AMP participant eligibility requirements:
    • Be enrolled at a RM-AMP campus, in an NSF approved STEM undergraduate degree program. 
    • Be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (green card holder)
  • The international program must have a clear scope of STEM research or field experience that involves a faculty mentor with on-site supervision for the duration of the project.
  • Duration of the project/research is subject to approval, but a two-week (or longer) period is suggested, as anything shorter will need additional justification.
  • There is no minimum GPA requirement to apply for the IRE, but applicants must be in good academic standing. 
  • Following the research experience, award recipients will be required to complete the following requirements:
    • Complete one pre-trip questionnaire
    • Complete two post-trip questionnaires
    • Submit photos (minimum 2) showing student participation in research environment
    • Submit a one to two-page post-experience essay on 1) what they gained from the experience and 2) how the experience met (or didn’t meet) their expectations. 

Important: International Research Experience awards are subject to change based on the availability of funds.
