Attention undergraduates! Are you interested in doing research but not sure how to get started?

The Department of Entomology invites applications from undergraduate students for our Inclusivity Fellowship Program to conduct research in entomology at UCR, starting in Summer or Fall 2023. We recognize that there are marginalized groups that face systemic barriers throughout their academic journeys. An award of $1000 will be provided to an undergraduate student that has faced or addressed social, cultural, and financial barriers to participation in research. The funds are meant to support their ability to participate in research under the guidance of a Department of Entomology principal investigator. Faculty members at UCR may provide additional research support and will provide mentorship.
