About

Winner of award: Most Donors - Second Place

Your Cortland Challenge gift to Biology will enhance and expand undergraduate research opportunities by awarding students funding to support their projects and helping our department purchase the required supplies. Prior to conducting their research, students work with their faculty sponsor to develop a project proposal and budget which is reviewed by a departmental committee for consideration for funding. Every part of these opportunities are excellent learning experiences for these future scientists.
