School of Life Sciences Undergraduate Research Program Support

Learn more about your impact

When you support undergraduate research you are helping to ensure a student’s future - and you become partners in their success as they go on to careers in medicine, conservation, technology, and more. From cancer to Alzheimer’s, conservation to climate change, our undergraduate students will be the leaders and innovators for solutions to the issues that shape the modern world.

We are one of the largest departments on campus and continue to find new and innovative ways of pushing the boundaries of what is possible for our students. Hands-on research experiences are a vital part of a student's academic journey, and we need your help to give them access to the resources they need to succeed. Your support enables research, mentorship, networking, and professional development opportunities that will help them build the skills they need to take the next steps toward their future.
