The Next STEP holds a coordinated, 10-week undergraduate research program each Summer. In addition to undergraduate and community college students, the program supports the participation of faculty members from Truman’s partner community colleges for research-related activities through the Partnership Grant Program. Faculty members from the departments of Agriculture Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science serve as research mentors and colleagues for the summer program.
Project descriptions and brief biographical sketches of the research mentors are provided for the research projects. Interested applicants should review the projects prior to submitting their online application.
