KEE Research Experience

The research experience offers an inside look at research activity in medical center laboratories, research areas, or animal facilities. Participants have a choice on how to participate:

1. Research Observational Learners observe only; no hands-on activity is allowed. 
2. Research Active Learners participate in research as active learners, which means hands-on activity is authorized. 

This activity is considered educational only and comes without monetary or material compensation. Research learner experiences can last up to four months (one semester or one summer) or a full academic year with vice chancellor approval.
