About Bravo!

BRAVO!, which grew out of the Undergraduate Biology Research Program, began in 1992. Since then more than 170 undergraduates have worked in laboratories in other countries under the auspices of BRAVO! Participants have worked in many different institutions in 34 countries. Both industrialized and developing countries are represented.
