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 Scholar Ambassadors

This team of current undergraduate researchers is here to help.  

If you are a CU Boulder undergraduate looking for some help getting started or want to learn more about the benefits of doing research, then meet with an Ambassador. 

Appointments are now available.

Inclusive Research

Upon reflection during and post the anti-racism event on June 10 (#ShutDownSTEM), BSI was inspired to research and write-up strategies and tips for broadening participation in undergraduate research.

Find these strategies here.

BSI Scholars Research Symposium

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

April 24-28, 2023

Details TBA.

 

Give Now

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.

Help us transform lives!
