UR2PhD is building capacity in computer science to advance the representation of women and gender-marginalized students, especially those who identify as Black, Latinx, and Native/Indigenous.
The Undergraduate Research to PhD program (“UR2PhD”, pronounced ‘you are to PhD’) aims to ensure that undergraduate students have access to high-quality research opportunities, positive mentorship experiences, and information about graduate study and research pathways.
For faculty mentors, it reduces time spent on basic training, enhances research team competence, equips graduate students with mentoring skills, and expands lab diversity.
The research course integrated perfectly in our summer initiative in undergraduate research. Students could get a comprehensive introduction to literature review and apply the methodology on the topics they worked on. The program permitted us free time to focus on advancing the research.
