Description: The Program for Excellence & Equity in Research (PEER) is an initiative to increase the number of exceptional underrepresented students graduating with doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. PEER seeks to advance a doctoral student's competitiveness and interest in their chosen career field by offering professional development, ambitious research and impactful mentoring opportunities. Among the resources given, only 8 incoming graduate students at UT are selected each year for a two-year fellowship that provides salary, travel funding, tuition and health benefits.
