As a part of our commitment, the IQ Biology certificate is one of the five interdisciplinary programs at CU that partner with the University’sÌýColorado Advantage Program.
Highlights of this cutting-edge program include:
- Prospective graduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in STEM Disciplines (as defined by the National Science Foundation) can apply for funds to attend the Colorado Advantage Program to pursue their interest in obtaining a PhD, perhaps in the IQ Biology Certificate Program and one of ourÌýpartner departments.
- Current students can volunteer to help with the preview weekend.
- Faculty, especially those who run training grants where they would like to recruit a diverse student body, can volunteer to develop panels, give lab tours, and speak with the recruits during that weekend.
- Departments, training grant applicants, and other organizations can support Colorado Advantage.
