Staff.

For students with previous undergraduate experience conducting biological research. Students enrolled for this credit continue to be supervised, as in 2990 , but work more independently, often on their own project. As part of the online application, students will prepare a brief research proposal (1-2 paragraphs). Any Cornell faculty member whose research field is biological in nature may serve as supervisor for this course.
