5. Students Perceive Benefits! “It gave me a tremendous confidence when applying to graduate school, and even now in graduate school, because I'm not so afraid of what research is.” “Without this motivation to continue research, I wouldn't have been confident or encouraged to continue (because there is a lot of stress being just a student).”

6. Future Directions Form closer link with Intel Research Lab at Berkeley Develop more online resources Broaden IUR to include freshmen and sophomores Diversify funding base Track IUR alumni in graduate school
