Virginia Commonwealth University Guided Research Experiences & Applied Training (VCU GREAT) is a summer research program that provides undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds with funded research training under the guidance of VCU faculty mentors conducting behavioral sciences research. The program, though previously held in person, was able to successfully make the transition online this year at a time when many research opportunities for students were cancelled due to the pandemic.
