Starting & Sustaining a VIP Team

Faculty Resources

What if your teaching was your scholarship – blurring artificial boundaries between class and laboratory?

What if you could partner with a student workforce that helps train, retain, and sustain scholarly activity – increasing productivity without expanding your personnel budget?

What if you incorporated learning goals, objectives, and plans into your research enterprise – empowering students to take ownership of their education via real world experiences?

Please note: For Fall 2026 courses, NEW VIP application deadline is December 15, 2025. This space will be updated with deadlines for upcoming semesters as we finalize them. Please check back here for the deadline for Spring 2027, or email vip@boisestate.edu.
