This interdisciplinary consortium conducts empirical research on bilingualism and second language acquisition. We have a broad range of content expertise and use a wide variety of data collection methods and analytic techniques. Our research and training programs have been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Department of Homeland Security. We believe that the global and local importance of bilingual communication make it imperative to achieve a better scientific understanding of bilingualism. UTEP, being located in a bilingual, bicultural, and bi-national region, is the ideal location to conduct basic and applied scientific research on bilingualism. The core faculty meet weekly, and current activities include developing plans and research proposals for collaborative interdisciplinary research; sharing new research plans or results and providing feedback; training in content and methodology for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty; and mentoring of junior faculty.
