CURE is a summer research program designed to prepare undergraduate students for graduate level research. Students will choose from a wide range of research topics, work in small groups, and be mentored by a team of faculty members and industry professionals.
Applications are Due Saturday, May 15th by 11:59 PM
Agenda for CURE 2021
Agenda for CURE 2021
The CURE 2021 summer program will be held virtually on the digital platform, Gather Town. There are two phases of the program, the lecture phase which starts June 2 and ends June 25, and the research phase which starts June 26 and ends October 1. During the first four weeks, the program will include 3 hours of live participation and 1 hour of homework Monday through Friday. The live participation hours will be from 4 to 7 pm EST.
The program will give boot camp style lessons on the following topics: programming with R, Latex/Overleaf, Dynamical Systems and Matrix Models, Ecological and Epidemiological Modeling, Probability & Statistics, Stochastic Models, Parameter Estimation, Machine Learning & Neural Networks, and in Professional Development. One hour of daily homework and weekly hands-on group problem solving sessions give students an opportunity to practice what they learn.
The research phase offers more flexibility in schedule as students meet weekly with their research groups. During this phase, students will not only be applying what they have learned to a real life societal problem but they will also be working towards a possible publication of their work. This phase will conclude with a poster presentation at the annual Biomathematics and Ecology Education and Research Symposium in October.
This program aims to build a network of experience and opportunity to challenge and support motivated students in overcoming barriers to career success. At the heart of the program are guest speakers and mentoring opportunities which will give the students extra support needed to take their academic studies to the next level.
