Students selected to be part of the Aspiring Researchers Alliance will build a community of practice with other students that goes beyond finding a research opportunity. Through multiple collaborative workshops, students will work together to secure their first undergraduate research position for the spring semester. Once you secure an opportunity, you will remain part of a mentorship cohort to support and inspire the next generation of aspiring researchers.
While we cannot guarantee a research position, we hope this support group serves as a community to share concerns, challenges, and successes. Students will be expected to engage in bi-weekly meetings and complete assignments throughout the term.
Participation in the program is by application only; the deadline for undergraduates to apply is September 13, 2023 at 11:59 pm. For more information and to apply please visit: https://undergradresearch.illinois.edu/programs/researchers-alliance.html
