The goal of City Tech's undergraduate research program is to ensure that all students have access to undergraduate research opportunities. We are committed to the principle that research is a learning experience leading to deeper understanding of concepts taught in the classroom, through their application to discover new knowledge or solve societal problems. We strive to support:
Prof. Hamid Norouzi, Director of Undergraduate Research (undergraduateresearch@citytech.cuny.edu).
Prof. Diana Samaroo, Co-Director of Undergraduate Research ( On Leave in AY 2024-2025)
Prof. Susan Schroeder-Davide, Associate Director of Undergraduate Research (undergraduateresearch@citytech.cuny.edu).
Undergraduate Research Committee membership: Professors: Ralph Alcendor, Nadia Benakli, Monica Berger, Susan Davide, Katherine Gregory, Sitaji Gurung, Pa Her, Ellen Kim, Xiaohai Li, Zory Marantz, Masa Nakamura, Hamid Norouzi (Chair), Akm Rahman, Katherine Poirier, Jonas Reitz, Jody Rosen, Diana Samaroo, Robert Walljasper, Angran Xiao, and Lin Zhou.

Emerging Scholars Program
The Emerging Scholars Program provides students with an opportunity to apply what was learned in the class room to discover new knowledge, solve real-world problems and develop professionally while working with faculty to advance their scholarly endeavors. The program includes specially designed workshops for students offered by the Undergraduate Research Committee, preparation of an abstract and participation in the Honors/Emerging Scholars poster session. Participating students must complete online training through Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) within the first six weeks.The Emerging Scholars Program provides a $500 stipend for full-time students (enrolled for 12 or more credits) and a $250 stipend for part-time students (enrolled in 11 or fewer credits) for conducting research with a faculty member. Some funding for student travel to professional conferences to present results is available.
Part I of a two-part application is found (online), and should be filled out by students who already have a faculty mentor to work with or are looking for one, and are interested in participating in the ESP.
Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP)
The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is a fellowship research program with funded opportunities for students to complete laboratory research with a faculty mentor. Students must be US Citizen or Permanent Resident; be enrolled full-time with a GPA of at least 2.5, with a maximum of 90 credits completed prior to the start of the Spring 2025 semester; and participate in a STEM-related research project. Students cannot participate in both the Emerging Scholars Program (ESP) and LSAMP in the same semester.
CUNY Immersive Research Experience (CIRE)
The CUNY Immersive Research Experience (CIRE) provides funded research experiences for baccalaureate degree students over a one-year period. Full-time rising junior and rising seniors in qualifying STEM programs may participate. Students and faculty should commit to being part of the program for one full academic year plus the summer. Students must maintain full-time enrollment status while in the program. The goal of the program is to encourage undergraduate participation in authentic research, to increase persistence in STEM disciplines (including social and behavioral sciences), and to prepare advanced undergraduate students for graduate programs and the professional workforce.
The New York City College of Technology Undergraduate Research Program only accepts applications for CIRE (CUNY Immersive Research Experience) and CRSP (CUNY Research Scholars Program) in September each year, please keep an eye out for those applications in late August if you are interested in applying for the Fall 2025 - Summer 2026 Academic year.
CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP)
The CUNY Research Scholars Program provides funded laboratory
experiences
for associate degree students (or baccalaureate students with less than 50 credits
completed)
over a one-year period. The goal of the program is to encourage undergraduate students to
participate in authentic research and to increase persistence in STEM disciplines.
Applications for year 2024-2025 are currently being accepted
until September 26, 2024
