International Summer Research Program in Gravitational-Wave Physics:
Research Experiences for Undergraduates around the world


Thanks to all those who expressed an interest in our program for Summer 2009. Applications for Summer 2010 are now open. Applications will be considered at least until mid-January but, for full consideration, we should have all your application material in hand by mid-December.
