Dr. Cooper was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to support the MEDAL REU, an intensive summer research experience for undergraduates.

UNC’s Multidisciplinary and Engaged Approaches to Development and Adaptation across the Lifespan (MEDAL) REU provides promising undergraduate students the opportunity to work closely with UNC faculty mentors, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows to develop independent research projects that integrate multidisciplinary and engaged approaches to inform scientific inquiry of development and well-being across the lifespan.
