<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Undergraduates will work closely with a faculty member at Rice University on behavioral research that has clear applications to real-world problems.

hiring decisions, human-AI collaboration, human-computer interaction, memory in people with and without illness, leadership, multisensory integration in collision avoidance, physiological impacts of spousal bereavement, teamwork, usability, and workplace discrimination.
Training includes professional development seminars, graduate school preparation, and a special presentation by a successful alumnus now working in industry. The grant will pay for student lodging, meals and travel, and a $4800 stipend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
