Description
The University of Colorado Boulder’s Research and Innovation Office runs this undergraduate-specific voucher program through its Shared Instrumentation Network. It helps undergraduate investigators use CU Boulder Core Facilities to gather new or additional data for research. It is separate from the general Core Facility Voucher Program.
Supported work may contribute to an undergraduate research thesis or research experience, a grant application, a new or resubmitted manuscript, or exploratory research intended to lead to a grant application or peer-reviewed manuscript. The program also supports work addressing peer-review concerns about a submitted manuscript. Preference is given to applicants seeking support for senior undergraduate research theses or equivalent reports.
