Exact application deadlines are available on the Office of Undergraduate Research website. Projects Hatchery is an undergraduate research program that helps student-developed research projects from conception to completion. At the conference students give oral presentations which are judged by a panel and given a rating. Presentations deemed exemplary can be nominated to represent CPP at the Annual California State University Systemwide Student Research competition. However, Ever Barraza, director of the Office of Undergraduate Research, encourages getting involved in research early.
