SIOP Diversifying I-O Psychology Program Now Recruiting Scholars, Research Mentors

The SIOP Diversifying I-O Psychology Program is excited to begin the second phase of its mission: the mentorship program for Scholars. This phase will focus on research experience in the form of a research mentor–mentee relationship. The research experience will last 10 weeks and culminate with participants attending (with gratis registration) the 2024 SIOP Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

The goal of the SIOP Diversifying I-O Psychology Program is to help undergraduates gain the experience and qualifications needed to be more competitive to apply for funded I-O psychology doctoral programs. Specifically, the program focuses on Black, Latinx/Hispanic, and Native American undergraduate students to address the issue of racial minority underrepresentation in these doctoral cohorts.

Please consider forwarding the following application link to undergraduate students and associated discussion lists to apply to be a Scholar. Because undergraduate students are not likely to be SIOP members, you may be asked, but not required, to sponsor a letter of recommendation.

If you are a faculty member or practitioner in the field of I-O psychology, please consider applying to be a research mentor for these Scholars.

The application deadline has been extended to January 24, 2024.
