Research University Alliance

This program seeks to broaden participation in:

• Mathematics
• Physical sciences
• Computer Science
• Engineering
• Other related disciplines

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are introduced to the ranks of the postdoctoral population, the faculty at competitive research and teaching institutions, federally funded national laboratories and scientific think tanks.

The university benefits from a broad learning community, and UT Austin students and postdoctoral fellows benefit from the combined resources of the outstanding universities in the alliance, as well as a network of 80 AGEP alliances across the United States.

The Research Exchange Program provides participating students opportunities to learn and network at partner institutions including: 

• Caltech
• Georgia Tech
• Harvard
• Stanford University
• UC Berkley
• UCLA
• University of Michigan
• University of Washington

Students can visit partner institutions to learn new techniques, engage in collaborative research, explore opportunities for postdoctoral research and mentorship and receive individualized career guidance from faculty members at peer universities. Participating students who are NSF-AGEP funded will receive up to $1,500 for travel expenses (paid as reimbursements) for visits lasting about one week.
