The Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship (DUIRI) program has opened student applications for the Summer 2025 session. Undergraduate students at Purdue-West Lafayette can explore cutting-edge research opportunities in global security, global health, and global sustainability through interdisciplinary faculty-led projects.
Students can review the list of available projects and submit their applications on the DUIRI website.
Students will work on interdisciplinary research projects throughout the summer, culminating in a poster presentation and a one-page abstract/summary of their results. Each participating student will receive a $5,000 summer term scholarship, subject to meeting all program requirements.
This summer, select projects will be co-funded by Purdue’s Institute for a Sustainable Future (ISF). These projects focus on collaborative sustainability research in areas such as climate science, environmental stressors, water challenges, renewable energy, and sustainable communities.
The DUIRI program provides a unique opportunity for students to collaborate with faculty and peers from diverse academic backgrounds to develop solutions for real-world challenges.
