Spend 10 weeks next summer conducting research with the local community! The Community-Academic Scholars (CAS) program empowers passionate undergraduates to work with an academic mentor and community partner on a research project designed to benefit members served by the partner organization. Receive a $4,500 stipend and training, interact with undergraduate research peers, and present your research to the community. All majors are encouraged to apply and no prior research experience is necessary.
The CAS program offers opportunities through Illinois Substance Use and Mental Health Mentored Experience and Research (I-SUMMER), which focuses specifically on substance use and mental health, and the broader CAS program, which addresses a wide range of topics affecting human health and well-being. Both provide opportunities to gain hands-on research experience while making a meaningful impact in the community.
Please join the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute (IHSI) for an information session Nov. 19 from 5 to 6 p.m. on Zoom to learn about:
- Program overview, research opportunities, and application process
- Example of past research projects
- How scholars are matched with research projects
- Experiences from past program participants
There will also be a Q&A session with program leaders to answer your questions. Please register even if you cannot attend the live session to receive a link to the recording and be notified when the application period opens.
