Colorado Wyoming Alliance for Minority Participation

The Colorado-Wyoming Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-WY AMP) developed the International Research Initiative (IRE) for students at 2-year and 4-year institutions to provide laboratory research or field experiences at international locations. As part of the IRE program, students are provided transportation and additional funds to cover housing or incidental costs, as needed. The international program must have a clear scope of STEM research or field experience that involves a faculty mentor with on-site supervision for the duration of the project.

The Colorado-Wyoming Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-WY AMP) developed the Summer Research Initiative (SRI) opportunity for students from 2-year and 4-year institutions to integrate them into laboratories and research programs with direct mentor/professor supervision in both academic-year research as well as summer research enrichment programs.

​​​La Selva Research Station and Las Cruces Research Station provide undergraduate students with unparalleled access to tropical forest ecosystems, mentoring by experienced tropical ecology researchers, and training in field research methodology. Each student will work with an on-station mentor as well as an on-campus mentor from their home institution to ensure the integration of the summer research experience into students’ academic careers.​

SUMMiT is a collaborative series designed to quantitatively and qualitatively enhance summer undergraduate research programs by focusing on the unique needs of traditionally underrepresented students in science and research fields. Selected trainees will participate in targeted career development sessions held throughout the summer. 

At CU Denver and CU Anschutz Medical Campus, undergraduate students are building robots, creating documentary films, and developing new imaging techniques to detect cancer. You can be a part of this exciting world of discovery. Research opportunities exist in campus laboratories, studios, and beyond.

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) is your connection to the research opportunities that are out there just waiting for you. We're here to help you get the information you need to jump-start your research career.

The Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program is an intensive overseas language and cultural immersion program for American students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities. The program includes intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences designed to promote rapid language gains. CLS is part of a wider government initiative to expand the number of Americans studying and mastering foreign languages that are critical to national security and economic prosperity. CLS plays an important role in preparing students for the 21st century's globalized workforce and increasing national competitiveness.​

The Graduate School administers and serves Master's programs, Doctoral programs, Certificates, and non-degree courses throughout all thirteen schools and colleges across both the Denver and the Anschutz Medical Campuses. We offer resources and support for prospective graduate students, current graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty.​

The Fellowship program award supports dedicated graduate students from domestic underrepresented minority backgrounds that are pursuing graduate studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs at LSAMP Institutions.​
