Studio Lab was officially launched in 2020 to provide top-notch hands-on experiential training for undergraduate students. We admit undergraduates as Studio Lab scholars who are matched with a research mentor and paid to work as research assistants. We also social events and professional training sessions. We organize a number of professional opportunities including helping students present their research at CU and outside the university, and submit their work for publication.

The Colorado Research Experiences (CORE) at CU Anschutz is a summer biomedical research program for undergraduate students who are enrolled at institutions in Colorado. We are organized by CU Anschutz doctoral and medical students, and we provide full-time summer research internships in research labs at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Students receive a stipend of $5,000 for their work over the summer (for 8 weeks, 40 hours a week) and ongoing mentorship to help them build a career in science or medicine. Career development and scientific career exploration panels hosted over the summer also give our students the opportunity to network with faculty in their chosen career fields. Finally, students who complete the program will have access to the CORE Alumni network that provides further opportunities for career development and networking as students approach graduation and application to graduate and medical programs. A goal for our program is to have our students continue to work part-time in their summer host labs during the school year. Students from historically underrepresented communities and with no prior research experience are particularly encouraged to apply. Program website:
