The goals are to develop the necessary skill set of undergraduate students to help them become student researchers and to provide faculty members with paid student research assistants. Undergraduate students selected for the program received summer pay for research tasks assigned by their faculty supervisor. By assisting faculty members in their research, students selected for the program learned the knowledge and skills necessary for conducting advanced research in their field.
