RESEARCH. DESIGN. COMMUNITY.
After 20 impactful years, the SyBBURE Searle Undergraduate Research Program's funding is scheduled to conclude at the end of summer 2027.
Over the past two decades, the program has made a real difference by opening doors for students, building community, and showing its value again and again.
This moment is both a time to look back and a chance to move forward. With your support, the SyBBURE Searle Undergraduate Research Program does not have to end in 2027. A gift to extend the program will help carry its proven impact into the future and allow the work built over 20 successful years to keep growing.
Join us in sustaining this legacy and helping shape what comes next.
The SyBBURE Searle Program aims to incubate and inspire the next generation of innovators through research, design, and community.
We create a research and design playground where uniquely different people gather to do cool stuff. We fund undergraduate students at Vanderbilt University to explore any aspect of STEM that interests them through independent research and team-based design projects. We provide individualized mentorship and training to promote student personal and professional development within an extraordinary and inclusive community.
