Discovery Park District announces DURI projects for Fall 2022; student applications being accepted

Discovery Park District has posted new research projects for Fall 2022 as part of the Discovery Park Undergraduate Research Internship (DURI). The DURI program provides opportunities for undergraduate students to work with Discovery Park District-affiliated faculty on cutting-edge research in the areas of global security, health and sustainability. Research teams will combine faculty and students with two or more distinct disciplinary strengths.

Undergraduates can see the current list of DURI projects and apply for the fall session on the DURI website. The student application deadline is July 21. Faculty project supervisors will review all eligible student applications before making final selections. Students will be notified of their acceptance after that date.

Students selected this fall will be responsible for pursuing their research projects, culminating with a poster presentation in the Fall Research Expo and a one-page abstract/summary of their results. Assuming all requirements are met, each participating student will earn a $1,000 fall semester fellowship from the DURI program.
