Summer 2025 Undergraduate Experience

Iowa State University research mentors are invited to apply for the inaugural Water Resilience Collaborative (WRC) Undergraduate Research Experience. This program equips undergraduate research scholars with diverse perspectives and experience in water-related research and extension. In its first year, projects will be selected based on alignment with WRC goals and their relevance to advancing water research and extension. Students will engage in real-world problem-solving, analyzing the complexities of water management in rural and urban landscapes. The program also offers professional development to enhance research skills, communication, and career readiness in water-related fields. The program follows a cost-share model, with WRC covering two-thirds of the cost and research mentors covering one-third. The inaugural cohort will include 8-10 students.
