2023 Diversity Summer Research Program for undergraduate students

The Rocky Mountain MIRECC (Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center) for Suicide Prevention is offering a paid, 10-week Diversity Summer Research Program for undergraduate students.

Message/additional details from the Rocky Mountain MIRECC: 

Our Rocky Mountain MIRECC (Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center) for Suicide Prevention mission focuses on studying the social, neurobiological and cognitive underpinnings of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, plus developing promising clinical interventions that may lead to innovative suicide prevention strategies.

We know suicide risk spans across all sociodemographic characteristics. To fulfill our mission, we must then make diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) a centerpiece of our training programs. This means thoughtfully supporting research and emerging investigators addressing areas with identified, understudied disparities (e.g., structural discrimination, determinants of health).

Through this new paid 10-week Diversity Summer Research Program, Rocky Mountain MIRECC will mentor aspiring new scientists, practitioners and advocates who reflect the diversity of communities we serve. We also strive to offer you, as an early career scientist, meaningful experiences in suicide prevention research. Together, we can build an inclusive workforce better equipped to tackle suicide and support health.
