Outreach
The Center's expertise in applying a range of computational and machine learning methods to synthesis offers unique opportunities for the participation of chemists with disabilities. We have partnered with the American Chemical Society's Committee for Chemists with Disabilities (ACS-CWD) to offer undergraduate research opportunities for students with disabilities.
Meet our 2023 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows:
2023 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships for Students with Disabilities
The C-CAS is pleased to offer summer undergraduate research fellowships for students with disabilities to do research at any of the thirteen partner universities listed below
| American University | MIT |
| Berkeley | Notre Dame |
| CalTech | Pomona College |
| Carnegie Mellon | UCLA |
| College of the Holy Cross | Univ of Tennessee |
| Colorado College | Univ of Utah |

Eligibility
The program is open to any undergraduate students with disabilities (mobility, sensory, learning, psychological, medical, or other), whose research interests are aligned with the topics covered by the C-CAS (organic mechanism and synthesis, computational chemistry and computer science).
Benefits
The fellowship provides a stipend and housing to support a 10-week program performing state-of-the-art research during the summer in any of the PI research groups and the opportunity to present your work at an American Chemical Society Meeting.
Important Dates
- Application Deadline: Applications are being accepted immediately. The review process will begin on February 1, 2023 and will continue until all positions are filled
- Fellowship Start Date: June 1, 2023 - August 11, 2023
Applications Requirements
Applications will require a personal statement describing your research interests, a copy of your transcript, and two letters of recommendation. Submit your SURF application here
