With the goal of connecting great students with exceptional opportunities, we are independently providing this broad, national, community-sourced directory for everyone to use. This resource helps students find opportunities that fit their identities and schedules.
We encourage you to share and circulate the link to your students for this community sourced directory. This is a best-effort by the Department of Earth, Environmental & Planetary Sciences at Northwestern University.

Come back ~weekly if you are a student searching for a summer research programs. The versions will increment quickly, as more programs submit information every day.
You are able to sort the directory using the column-sort-functions. This will help you find programs with earlier or later start dates. Or, you may need a type of accessibility. Note that there are columns for citizenship requirements, so that US / international / DACA students can find suitable programs. There is also a column on the total number of students who will be selected for each program.
