The CUEMS (CU Emergency Medical Services) student organization offers Basic Life Support (BLS) certification for CU students, faculty, staff, alumni and unaffiliated community members. This is a three- to four-hour course where BLS is taught and demonstrated. Participants will learn how to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR and use an AED. This course provides a two-year certification through the American Heart Association. Classes are held on campus on weekends. Classes are $50, as compared to the market average of $80-$120 for AHA BLS certification courses. The full list of class dates can be seen at the sign-up link and on the poster.
This class is perfect if you are considering getting certified as an EMT or are pre-health––AHA BLS certification is required for most health care jobs and EMT certification. Enhance your resume, strengthen applications to medical, PA and nursing schools, and be ready to save a life in a cardiac or respiratory emergency.

We offer grants to support undergraduate projects in all fields of study and professional practice. Students can apply for funding to help mentors and develop projects, and faculty can secure funding to support student teams.
Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at CU Boulder to apply for UROP funding and should not plan to graduate before the end of a proposed project's grant term—no exceptions. All student grants must be supervised by an eligible mentor.
These grants provide funding to students to partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project.
These grants allow students to take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal.
Tenured/tenure-track research and teaching faculty, professional researchers and practitioners, and postdoctoral scholars at CU Boulder and Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible to mentor student grants and apply for faculty grants.
These grants support research and creative projects involving two-plus CU Boulder undergraduates. They are intended to create compelling opportunities for students to step into exciting projects, develop skills, make connections and inspire inquiry.
