UCLA is known both for its excellence in research and education and is home to a number of NIH, NSF, and HHMI funded training programs focused on increasing success for underrepresented students in science, medical, and allied health fields, and currently serves as the coordinating center for NIH BUILD grants. The UCLA College of Letters and Science promotes excellence in STEM teaching through the Center for Education Innovation & Learning in the Sciences and is home to many innovative programs that provide research and professional development opportunities for our diverse undergraduate student body such as PEERS (Program for Excellence in Education & Research in Sciences), MARC (Maximizing Access to Research Careers), the UCLA-HHMI Pathways to Success program, and COMPASS-Life Sciences (Center for Opportunities to Maximize Participation, Access, and Student Success). Additionally, there are numerous programs to support the success of a diverse community of graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty. The Life Sciences is one of the fastest growing divisions within the College of Letters and Sciences, with a proportionate growth in student diversity.
