Opportunities for Undergraduate Research

Students who are enrolled in an accredited college or university and not an incoming freshman or graduating senior. Strong preference will be given to groups under-represented in science and students at colleges without strong research programs.

We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in the sciences, first-generation college students, students that attend colleges with limited research opportunities (e.g., small liberal arts and community colleges), and US military veterans currently enrolled as undergraduates in STEM majors.

Students who are African American, Hispanic, Native American, Southeast Asian, Native Alaskan or Native Pacific Islander or who are from low-income homes or who are the first in their family to attend college or who attend small liberal arts institutions without broad research facilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
