Research Laboratories
Undergraduate Participation
Research in the Department spans the entire discipline of physiology, from the genetics of behavioral traits to the assessment of human performance. There are four ways that undergraduate students can participate in some of the research activities conducted in our laboratories:
- Participate as a subject in a study that is performed on human volunteers. The laboratories that often need subjects for a study include: Human Integrative Physiology, Integrative Vascular Biology, Locomotion, Neurophysiology of Movement, and Sleep and Chronobiology.
- Volunteer to assist in a laboratory. Most research studies in the Department are performed by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research assistants, and they can often use another pair of hands for various tasks. You can develop some useful laboratory skills by being a volunteer.
- Sign up for independent study (IPHY 4840) so that you obtain credit for a supervised research experience. Many of the laboratories in the Department are willing to provide undergraduate students with research experiences that require 1-3 credits worth of work.
- In consultation with a director of one of the Department laboratories, apply for financial support from the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program to obtain up to $1200/project. You must be a full-time student (12 credit hours; freshman through senior) to apply. Applications are generally submitted from July 1 until January 31.
Undergraduates seeking research experience in Integrative Physiology should check the web page for the laboratory of interest (see links above) to find out the requirements.
If you are interested in participating as a research subject , contact Marsha Cook (marsha.cook@colorado.edu) in Clare 113 for a list of laboratories using human subjects.
