Echoing CLiPS research that is based on pioneering layer-multiplying technology, CLiPS Education Programs are organized into Layered Research Teams.  These teams are interactive and multi-disciplinary in nature.

• Faculty Advisors are the Team Leaders – they set goals, guide research and chart each student’s progress

• Graduate students are the backbone of CLiPS research efforts and teach undergraduates and high school students

• CLiPS undergraduate programs are three-pronged: 
  • undergraduate research in CLiPS labs takes place throughout the year,
  • REU students from across the country enjoy a 10-week long summer research experience
  • CLiPS affiliate schools are chosen for their excellence in undergraduate teaching
• CLiPS’s exemplary program for high school students is the Envoys Program.  In this program,
  • each high school student is assigned to a graduate student
  • this one-on-one relationship lasts over three years
  • all of our Envoy graduates have matriculated to college
  • 83% of them in STEM fields
