An award-winning program designed to provide promising underrepresented undergraduate students with in-depth research experiences.

CROI is a free ten-week program for underrepresented undergraduates interested in cancer-related biomedical sciences with mentors from the colleges of medicine, nursing, public health, engineering, pharmacy, and liberal arts & sciences.

The Biomedical Scholars Summer Undergraduate Research Program offers research opportunities in the laboratories of faculty in free radical and radiation biology, genetics, human toxicology, immunology, molecular medicine, and neuroscience.

A ten week program providing students with hands-on experience in an active research laboratory under the direction of an established scientist. The research involves planning and performing experiments to answer questions of interest in contemporary biochemistry.

Our projects are captured by the question “How do the different kinds of cells work together in an epithelium to orchestrate ion transport?”. Duties include making solutions, help in preparing experiments, and mouse genotyping.

In this position students can learn new perspectives and consider the ways human rights might apply to their vocational interests, developing a critical proficiency in human rights in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Our work on human rights is done through a holistic approach, incorporating insight from a plurality of disciplines. Students will be able to choose from several options, all of which will enable them to learn and conduct research on human rights.

The Developmental Psychopathology Lab conducts research to understand how children develop behavior problems as well as positive adjustment. We have been particularly interested in externalizing behavior problems, such as aggressive, disruptive, and noncompliant behavior. We focus on the development of self-regulation skills and the consequences of children’s self-regulation skills (or deficits) for their school readiness. The goal of our lab is to improve understanding about how children develop behavior problems from a very early age (3–7 years).

We study children’s social-emotional development from infancy to adolescence. Students in this lab have the opportunity to work on a longitudinal study to help collect data during laboratory sessions, code behavioral data from videos, and perform preliminary data management.

The Office of Undergraduate Research Quick Pitch Challenge (QPC) is a communication competition that challenges undergraduate students to present their research or creative work to a general audience in three minutes. Participants from all majors and areas of study are invited to showcase their work on campus. The final competition is April 9th!

We love research, and we hope you do too! That's why we will be spending the week of Valentine's showing you why we love research! Check out the OUR social media for updates about this campaign, and how you can get involved.
