Rising Tide

Rising Tide is a research techniques training program that supports Caltech's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by increasing accessibility to our undergraduate research and graduate programs. The program is extended to, but not limited to, first generation college students, educationally or financially disadvantaged students, underserved students, women, geographically underrepresented students, and students with disabilities. Applicants will be asked to discuss how their lived experience has impacted their educational journey and how participation in Rising Tide will help them achieve their academic goals and contribute to Caltech's commitment to a diverse and inclusive environment.

Rising Tide Scholars will receive chemistry and biology research techniques training from Caltech graduate students or postdoctoral scholars. The research techniques training will focus on a few primary research areas, including synthetic and analytical chemistry, computational or theoretical chemistry, and biochemistry.

The Rising Tide program is generously supported by on-campus partners, including:

• The Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (CCE DEI) Committee Fund
• The Biology and Biological Engineering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (BBE DEI) Committee Fund
• Carina Initiatives through Caltech's office of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility
