About Vertically Integrated Projects
The VIP program at UArizona was established in 2020 and is part of the international VIP Consortium. The Consortium promotes an educational model that has been developed and refined at more than 40 U.S. and international institutions. The model provides a cost-effective and equitable approach to advancing undergraduate research by simplifying access to research opportunities and centering inclusive mentoring practices — both with the aim of increasing the participation of undergraduate students, especially from groups that have been underrepresented in academic research.
