Science Research Initiative
One program, many pathways: SRI puts authentic research at the center of a student's education from the first semester, and builds community, coursework, and careers from that foundation.
What We Do
The Science Research Initiative (SRI) program offers College of Science students the opportunity to participate in discovery-based scientific research starting your first day on campus, with no prior research experience required.
You will gain research skills that will help you in science classes, learn with College of Science peers, and connect with faculty across the University. The SRI will jumpstart your path of academic success, and give you needed skills to prepare for an internship or a career - whether that's in a research lab, an office, or one of the many other opportunities open to our graduates.
