BSI Undergraduate Research Support

BSI Scholars in STEM Undergraduate Research

Evidence shows that participating in research as an undergraduate enhances the educational experience of CU students, and is particularly important to the development of science students. 

BSI Scholars is a funding and professional development program for current CU Boulder undergraduates.

BSI Scholars Poster Symposium

Every year BSI hosts a poster symposium to showcase undergraduate researchers in the BSI Scholar Program.

Please join us April 20, 2020 for this year's symposium.  CANCELED

Your gift makes a positive difference to CU undergraduates.  For many previous students, research experience was critical to their academic and career plans.  

Undergraduate researchers help fuel scientific discovery by finding tomorrow's solutions in human health, climate change, and more.
