Undergraduate Support Core
The overall goal of the Undergraduate Support Core is to increase and strengthen efforts to acquaint undergraduates with biomedical research on all campuses involved in the K-INBRE and to develop seamless career pathways toward a focus on Cell and Developmental Biology on Scientific Partner campuses.
The Undergraduate Support Core establishes funding for training and mentoring through coordinator offices and their programs on graduate and undergraduate campuses, provides support for recruiting prospective biomedical researchers and offers direction for their career development.
