We will soon be accepting applications for SIPP 2010.
Applications must be submitted online by clicking here. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. You should submit your application as soon as possible, because qualified applicants will be admitted only until all 60 spaces are filled.
When you submit your application to attend SIPP, you will be required to make a firm commitment online to pay all SIPP fees if you are accepted. Therefore, you should not submit an application until you are 100% certain that you can pay the required fees by the set deadlines and will attend SIPP if you are accepted. Please do not submit an application thinking that you will explore whether you can pay the fees after you find out whether you have been accepted. Submitting an application requires that you make the commitment to pay the fees if you are accepted.

Reference
Please identify someone who is acquainted with your training, abilities, experience, research work to date and your current responsibilities and have them submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf. This letter should be emailed to sipp@psych.stanford.edu. Your application will not be considered complete until this letter is received.
Partially filled out applications can be accessed and completed by going back to the registration site and signing in with the participant’s last name and email address.
Completed applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, and qualified applicants will be notified of acceptance decisions via email as quickly as possible after their complete applications have been received. Thus, slots for SIPP 2009 will fill up with qualified applicants who apply most quickly after we begin to accept applications. Once 60 people are accepted, no more applications will be considered.
The notification email will provide each accepted participant with a link to take them back to the registration web site. After signing back in with your last name and email address, you are asked to select your room package (single or shared room). Please have your credit card handy to provide your financial information to pay the first half of fees due. This payment of the first half of your participation, housing, and meal fees guarantees your admission to SIPP 2010 and must be received within 14 days of your notification of acceptance. If the fee is not received within that time frame, your slot will be offered to another applicant. All payments are non-refundable.
Since a limited number of single rooms is available, they will be assigned in the order that first payments are received. For applicants who paid for a private room with their first payment but cannot be accommodated and are assigned to a shared room, the second payment amount will be reduced accordingly.
The second half of the participation, housing, and meal fees will be due by May 31, 2010. In order to submit your second payment, you will use the link provided in the email confirming your first payment.
Stanford reserves the right to cancel SIPP 2010 and refund all fees paid if an insufficient number of people apply to participate.
