The Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has an established record of providing research opportunities for its own undergraduates and successfully administered summer programs for students from underrepresented populations in 1998 and 1999. The Department has an internationally recognized research faculty committed to undergraduate and graduate education and eager to direct individual research projects. For the next three summers, 2000-2002, the Department will offer the Psychology Research Experience Program (PREP), a summer program to provide research experiences that will help to prepare undergraduate students from underrepresented populations for graduate school. In addition to support from the National Science Foundation, additional support will come from the University's Graduate School.The main goal of PREP is to attract motivated students who will pursue an academic research career. PREP will provide the opportunity for eight-ten students in each of the three summers to gain hands-on experience with faculty mentors in research laboratories. The eight-week program will foster learning of research techniques in laboratory groups of faculty, graduate, and undergraduate participants. The PREP undergraduates will come from the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as from other institutions. In every case, however, they will be from an underrepresented minority population, from a low-income background, and/or be from the first generation in their family to attend college.The entire process of research, from literature search through collection and analysis of data, will culminate in an oral and written presentation and, if appropriate, journal publication. In addition, faculty members will discuss various research areas in psychology in weekly lunch seminars, thus highlighting the diverse nature of the discipline.

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的心理学系在为自己的本科生提供研究机会方面有着良好的记录，并在1998年和1999年成功地为代表性不足的学生举办了暑期课程。 该部门有一个国际公认的研究教师致力于本科和研究生教育，并渴望直接个人研究项目。 在接下来的三个夏天，2000-2002年，该部门将提供心理学研究经验计划（PREP），一个暑期计划，提供研究经验，这将有助于准备本科生从代表性不足的人口研究生院。 除了国家科学基金会的支持外，大学研究生院也将提供额外的支持。PREP的主要目标是吸引有动力的学生，他们将从事学术研究。 PREP将为八至十名学生提供机会，在三个夏天的每一个获得实践经验与教师导师在研究实验室。 为期八周的计划将促进教师，研究生和本科生参与者的实验室小组的研究技术的学习。 PREP本科生将来自威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校以及其他机构。 然而，在每一种情况下，他们都将来自代表性不足的少数民族人口，来自低收入背景，和/或来自他们家庭中的第一代上大学。整个研究过程，从文献检索到数据收集和分析，将最终以口头和书面陈述，如果合适的话，期刊出版。 此外，教师将在每周的午餐研讨会上讨论心理学的各种研究领域，从而突出了学科的多样性。
