About CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP)

The CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP) aims to increase the participation of CUNY community college students in faculty-mentored research in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Social Sciences, Business, and more.

The CUNY Research Scholars Program at KCC will support 18 students and their faculty mentors for the 2026 cohort.

CRSP is a rigorous program where full-time matriculated Kingsborough students are expected to:

  • participate in hands-on research experience for one full year,
  • complete at least 400 hours of research/independent study,
  • attend monthly workshops on Responsible Conduct in Research, laboratory safety, research/scientific careers, presentation skills, and other professional development topics, and
  • develop, produce, and present oral/visual presentations as a poster or PowerPoint presentation at the college level in the fall and spring semesters.

Each year the program culminates in a CUNY-wide Symposium where scholars display and present their work. The 2026 CRSP Symposium is scheduled for early July.
