Colorado Research Experiences
Undergraduate Biomedical Research Experiences at The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
CORE at CU Anschutz provides research opportunities for undergraduate students from minoritized groups in science.
CORE is organized by CU Anschutz doctoral and medical students and their respective outreach groups. We provide full-time summer research internships in research labs at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Students receive a stipend of $5,000 and ongoing mentorship to help them build a career in science or medicine.
