College of DuPage as part of a collaborative of several area community colleges and universities was recently awarded a NSF grant to establish an undergraduate research collaborative (URC) to promote authentic research at the community college. See link for details on the award. Read this narrative to get a flavor for what goes on in undergraduate research. This is a major opportunity to establish COD as a national leader in developing and promoting scientific talent at the undergraduate level.
