MELDI: Research and Training

This page will list programs that provide research and training opportunities to diverse groups of students and environmental professionals. Some of these programs are university based, others might be at research institutions while others might be in environmental organizations or government agencies.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) at the University of Michigan is one of several initiatives created to improve the retention and academic achievement of under-represented students on the University of Michigan campus. The program includes both minority and non-minority students, but the program still maintains its original emphasis on underrepresented minority students and an emerging focus on women in science students.
