---------- Forwarded message --------- From: CS Research Mentorship Program csrmp@google.com Date: Thu, Oct 7, 2021 at 6:57 PM Subject: [Applications open] Google’s 2022A CS Research Mentorship Program (CSRMP) To:

Hello,

We're writing to share that the application http://g.co/csrmp for Google's 2022A CS Research Mentorship Program (CSRMP) *is* open for students to apply. CSRMP aims to support students from historically marginalized groups to progress in computing research pathways.

About the program

Students are matched into a pod with a Google mentor and small group of peers who are at a similar academic stage, and interested in the same research area. Pods structure discussion and identify opportunities around a topic shared by students and supported by the mentor through group and one-on-one meetings.

In addition, students join a broader peer community, and are invited to virtual networking events, career panels, tech talks, and information sessions about computing research opportunities. *CSRMP does not assign research projects or internships.*

The mentorship cycle runs for twelve weeks during the academic year with a minimum total time commitment of ten hours per student.

Class A (October application): January-April mentorship cycle *(*Check out our Class of 2021A graduates https://blog.google/technology/research/mentorship-inspires-deyrel-diaz-and-future-researchers/ !)

Class B (July application): September-December mentorship cycle *(This class is currently in session)*

Eligibility

CSRMP aims to support students from historically marginalized groups to progress in computing research pathways. The definition of who is historically marginalized is responsive to a specific region, context, and its nuances. This can include students with marginalized gender and racial/ethnic identities, students with disabilities, students from low socioeconomic status, first-generation students, and intersections of these groups and others.

-

Active enrollment in an undergraduate or graduate degree-granting program in computer science (or an adjacent field) in the United States or Canada for the full duration of the mentorship cycle -

Includes community college students and students obtaining a minor in computer science (or an adjacent field) -

Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 (on a four point scale, or equivalent)

Please help to spread the word by communicating this opportunity to students in your network. Also, if you work with others who may know of student groups that would be interested in taking part, feel free to forward this email along to them.
