Applications to the Program for Research in Markets and Organizations (PRIMO) at Harvard Business School are now open, and I am reaching out to ask you to tell your undergraduate students about this summer opportunity. PRIMO is a selective 10-week summer community of undergraduates participating in research affiliated with HBS faculty.

 

The program is open to students from any American 4-year undergraduate institution who may be considering doctoral studies. We have had a fantastic experience with our fellows and are hoping that you might be able to recommend outstanding rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors in the Accounting department at University of Texas at Austin who might be considering doctoral studies after graduation. The tentative program dates for Summer 2021 are June 5th to August 14th. Whether the program will be offered virtually or in person has not yet been determined. In the summer of 2020, PRIMO was offered virtually, and fellows worked on research projects with faculty and participated in all activities via Zoom from their homes. No matter the decision, PRIMO fellows will receive a modest research stipend.

 

The deadline to submit applications is Thursday, February 18th at 12:00 pm EST. To learn more about the program and the application process, interested students are invited to join us for one of the Information Sessions – on Tuesday, January 26th at 4:00 pm EST or on Wednesday, February 3rd at 7:00 am EST. We ask that students register for the session/s here.
