Undergraduate Research

CCIs actively integrate research, innovation, education, broadening participation, and informal science communication. In that regard, CCIs provide unique research experiences for undergraduates in which students are immersed in collaborative research environments throughout the USA. Applicants can choose from a range of research topics and institutions where to conduct their summer research.

Participants in the CCI Summer Research Programs receive a wide range of exciting opportunities, including:

  • A competitive stipend, travel award, and housing for 10 weeks.

  • Research in innovative, cutting-edge multi-institutional and interdisciplinary settings.

  • Participation in seminars, workshops, career-planning sessions, and other professional development opportunities.
