● This project is designed to ensure student access and success in biology by bolstering the performance of C-grade students through a two-pronged plan to reform the laboratory experience and establish a mentoring program.

● The emphasis of this project is on providing an undergraduate research experience that is bolstered by broad faculty participation with strong administrative support and a committed leadership team, including an eager cohort of junior faculty participants.

The panel recommends funding at a level of $100,000 per year for five years. Because the undergraduate research program operates only during the academic year, faculty salary support for summer work does not seem warranted and should be eliminated. Institutional support is strong and should be maintained in full.
