Chemistry/Biochemistry Research Opportunities for Community College Students
This site provides opportunities for community college students to perform research in the chemical sciences in topics ranging from sustainable energy production to development of materials with biomedical applications. Community college students are recognized as an untapped resource for a diverse STEM workforce. Participants are drawn from two-year institutions across the nation with a focus on Tidewater Community College and Thomas Nelson Community College, local institutions with high populations of underrepresented minorities and veterans. Access to early research opportunities, career training, and one-on-one mentoring facilitate successful transfer to four-year baccalaureate programs and enhance retention of these student groups in STEM careers.
