The document discusses SUNY Oswego's Global Laboratory program, which provides undergraduate students hands-on research experiences in international labs. It aims to prepare globally engaged STEM researchers and increase scientific collaboration worldwide. Students spend 6-8 weeks in labs on all continents, working with local faculty on projects addressing local issues. Evaluation involves surveys assessing intellectual and global development. Funding comes from NSF and Santander grants totaling over $800,000 from 2011-2015. Future directions include placements in India, China, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
