LRI Access Program

The LRI Access Program is a year-long research education program designed to prepare UT undergraduates for graduate programs in the health sciences, education, social work, or public health. Students collaborate all year with a UT faculty mentor to develop a research project aligned with the student’s interests and the faculty’s current research. In addition to research experience, students develop professional skills and join a scholarly community by participating in workshops and events.

Students commit to the following:
