We provide an inclusive and supportive environment for undergraduate research.

In partnership with scientists and Engineers at the Space Sciences Laboratory, we offer a welcoming, supportive environment in which students can conduct their research using proven best-practices techniques. Our main initiative is the Advancing Space Sciences through Undergraduate Research Experiences program (ASSURE) that is offered in the summertime for students from underrepresented backgrounds, in particular from Community Colleges and Minority Serving Institutions. 

The 2024-2025 ASSURE program is funded by NSF grant number 2244218.
