Cornell Undergraduate Research Board

The Cornell Undergraduate Research Board (CURB) works to encourage, facilitate, and enhance undergraduate research at Cornell University. CURB does this via the many events it holds every year. In order to foster an undergraduate research community, we hold research forums and discussion groups with faculty members and alumni, as well as information sessions for both undergraduates and prospective students interested in research. In addition, we offer a student-written booklet about undergraduate research at Cornell, "Research 101."
