For Faculty & Staff

Berkeley Discovery offers funding for faculty and graduate students to scale opportunities for undergraduates to pursue original research and creative projects. We also amplify best practices in undergraduate Discovery on and off campus.

Coming Soon!

A campus-wide RFP for scaling undergraduates' access to hands-on Discovery while also helping graduate students practice research independence and develop leaderships skills. Sign up to be notified when the RFP is announced.
