The CNAS RISE mentored summer research program for undergraduate students is planned to run from June 22 - August 28, 2026 (10 weeks), with the final symposium is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2026. CNAS controls the funding for some of the RISE participants, including from donors.  To facilitate student matching with CNAS faculty, we would like to share short project descriptions with students.  These descriptions will be posted on our webpage for CNAS students (and donors) to review.  Faculty will review applications from eligible interested CNAS students to facilitate the matching process.

The RISE Faculty Interest Form will remain open until Monday, February 2, 2026, at 5pm. To ensure a smooth selection process and alignment with funding timelines, we won’t be able to accept new projects after this deadline.

FACULTY INTEREST FORM WILL BE AVAILABLE NOVEMBER
