2023 COVID Information Commons Student Paper Challenge

The COVID Information Commons (CIC) invites students from higher education institutions around the world to leverage the resources available from the CIC to synthesize a 4-5 page research paper that considers trends or topics that could contribute to COVID recovery, health and scientific insights, future discoveries, and innovations.

The 2023 CIC Student Paper Challenge is open to undergraduate and graduate students at public and private universities, colleges, and community colleges. Recent graduates (within the last 12 months) are also welcome to participate! (https://bit.ly/2023-spc-students)

We also invite STEM and healthcare researchers, professors, or professionals to participate in this challenge as Mentors and Judges. (https://bit.ly/2023-spc-mentors-judges)
