Bucknell is home to two institutes that provide support and faculty guidance to students interested in conducting social science research. The Bucknell Institute for Public Policy (BIPP) provides qualified summer research fellows with $3,000 grants and housing to support full-time, faculty-guided projects.

These culminate in presentations at the Susquehanna Valley Undergraduate Research Symposium or another approved venue.
