The Interns for Indiana program (IfI) at Purdue University, funded through the Lilly Endowment, seeks innovative ways to keep Indiana's college graduates in Indiana. By placing high quality student interns with start-up companies, Purdue hopes to accelerate company growth, while providing students with valuable educational experiences.
The Discovery Park Undergraduate Research Internship (DURI) program is designed to involve Purdue undergraduates in the interdisciplinary research environment of Discovery Park. The program provides opportunities for students to work with faculty affiliated with Discovery Park on cutting edge research projects that involve combining two or more disciplinary strengths (such as Nanoscience and Bioscience or perhaps Information Technology, Business, and Communications).
The National Science Foundation/Discovery Learning Research Center GK12 Program offers a unique one-year fellowship for doctoral students in the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to serve as "visiting scientists" in a program designed to instill the excitement of learning science into middle school classrooms.
Purdue University, Indiana University and Northwestern University comprise the Midwest Crossroads of AGEP. These schools have partnered to develop a strategic plan to increase enrollments, improve retention and prepare and encourage students to enter the academy.
LSAMP Indiana is implementing programs that will: provide early research and enrichment experiences; sustain teaching and mentoring opportunities on gatekeeper, as well as upper-level courses; provide personalized interactions with graduate students and faculty mentors beginning in the students' first year; and provide professional and personal development opportunities.
FEELS' mission is to recruit, retain, and prepare high-achieving students with financial difficulties to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers at Purdue University. Our program provides three key elements to equip its students to reach their professional goals: scholarship, mentorship, and activities.
The Cancer Prevention Internship Program graduate student fellowships are available to fund stipends and tuition to four predoctoral students (annually) who have cancer prevention as a focus of their dissertation research.
With funding from the NSF and cooperation among the departments of Biology, Mathematics, Basic Medical Sciences, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, Purdue's program in quantitative physiology seeks to provide training and support for undergraduate and graduate students to apply mathematical and computational tools to understand the structure and function of biological systems at the physiological level.
