Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity

The Intercollegiate Biomathematics Alliance (IBA) is hosting the 2023 Cross-Institutional Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) workshop at Illinois State University (ISU).

Research-minded undergraduate students and mentoring-minded faculty members are invited to take part in an exciting, friendly, productive, and collaborative experience.

CURE-2023 will have three sessions.

·        Pre-Workshop Online Prep Course: Hybrid (asynchronous lessons on foundation courses, synchronous sessions on hands-on activities and guest speakers): May 15-June 2, 2023.

·        On-site In-Person Workshop: Research Mentor-Student Activities at ISU campus:  June 5-10, 2023.

·        Post-Workshop Follow up Session: Weekly Synchronous Sessions for Faculty Mentor-Student Activities & Progress Report presentations: June 12-October 27, 2023

·        Research Presentations at BEER-XVI,  CURE Special Session: November 10-12, 2023.

This highly selective program is a great opportunity for undergraduate students to work on productive collaborative research projects.  It is also a great way, especially for junior faculty, and post-doctoral researchers to experience mentoring future scholars while conducting publishable research.  

·        Registration fees, travel, lodging, and meal expenses of the selected faculty and students of IBA member institutions will be covered by the IBA.

·        BA Individual members will be eligible for grants up to 50% of their registration fee. They are encouraged to seek funding from their home institutions to cover their travel, meal, and lodging expenses.
