Do you have a recent college graduate (or soon to be graduate!) who may be interested in research? Do you have a student who has gone above and beyond inside or outside the classroom? Perhaps a student showing an abundance of creativity and drive? These students have the skills we are looking for in our new program for recently graduated college students.
We are excited to announce the 3rd year of the NDSU CHANGE program, which provides year-long mentored research experiences to recent college graduates. Participants will work on integrative research projects exploring how organisms respond to and succeed (or not) in changing environments. Our program is an excellent opportunity for students who’ve had limited or no research experiences, and are interested in biology research. The CHANGE program encourages applications from first-generation college students, students from low-income households, and applicants from other underrepresented groups. Participants will join a cohort of recently graduated students and will be immersed in hands-on research during our year-long program. Students earn $32,500, with an additional $4,000 to cover health care expenses. Students will have the opportunity to present their research at a national conference with travel support from the CHANGE program. Our program begins in summer of 2025 and runs a full year; start dates may be flexible based on project and participant needs. Applications due January 17th, 2025.
