This program provides summer research experiences in STC-MDITR laboratories for undergraduates. These research opportunities will serve as Gateway experiences for lower-level undergraduate students who are exploring academic pathway opportunities (rather than the more traditional Capstone experiences for upper-level undergraduates who have already opted for majors in topics related to STC-MDITR).

Target Population: Predominately community college undergraduates, and also 4-year institution undergraduates.
