As part of the UC AGEP program, UCSC AGEP is a partner in the system-wide effort to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (African American, Hispanic/Latino, Puerto Rican, Native American and, Native Pacific Islander) who are in science, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate Ph.D programs and who are interested in careers in the professoriate. UCSC AGEP provides activities and support services for eligible undergraduate and graduate students.
Undergraduate research opportunities.
We are actively involved in an NSF initiative to combine the efforts of AGEP and IGERT as partner organizations. Check out these web sites. IGERT is a program developed by the National Science Foundation to improve the graduate experience. IGERT provides interdisciplinary graduate training for students who wish to pursue careers in the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics.

http://www.agep.us/ is to all the AGEP websites.
http://www.agep.us/programs.asp allows you to look up AGEP contacts by region and by institution.
We are also developing a new partnership with Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at University of Southern California (USC), and we invite you to join this summer for exciting interdisciplinary research experiences in advanced biomedicine for incurable human diseases. You will be working with the Enginieering Research Center (ERC) for Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems (BMES) on advanced neural prosthetic devices.
