Building a Base for Discovery
student growth through curiosity and contribution
The SRCI database grows with your help, and we aim for you to grow with ours. Your academic and professional skills development are as prioritized as the work you contribute. Build your resume while you build one of the most comprehensive student tools for industry examination.
Our current database
The cosmetics industry is one of the largest markets in the world, and includes everything from
- toothpaste, deodorant
- magnetic eyeliner
- hair straighteners
- keratin bump removers and skin resurfacers.
Examining leads to the ability to identify or predict
- international industry trends,
- the effects or lack thereof of regulation
- specific analysis in any product or industry categories.
The examination from molecular structure to corporate profile provides empirical data on things like formulation changes in response to:
- country regulations
- ingredient contamination
- lawsuits
- changes in leadership
There is also the possibility to identify correlations to be further investigated such as differences in inactive ingredients correlating to quality and effectiveness which might reveal new purposes for some ingredients.
broad scope of analysis
From supply chains to legal histories, an industry is collectively more than the products it manufactures. Students outside of the STEM disciplines can also benefit from our research thanks to the scope of data collected. Take a look at how your interests and professional aspirations make us a stronger team:
benefits of
volunteering
Verifiable Research Experience
SRCI provides an opportunity for early undergraduate research through not only data collection but also by hosting students’ independent research projects. Including live links to independent work on expanded resumes bolsters scholarship, transfer, and internship applications.
Volunteerism and Leadership Opportunities
Grow your nonprofit volunteer history with a flexible, remote activity designed for busy student lives. Excited about what you’re doing and have ideas? Building a developing organization opens up space for team leaders, committee participation, and statewide ambassador positions.
Recognition and Recommendation
Hard work and enthusiasm are readily recognized with awards for most volunteer hours, most prolific contribution, best paper of the quarter, and leadership. Heavily involved students in good standing can receive official SRCI letters of recommendation.
chemistry and engineering students
From diagrams and safety data sheets for individual chemical ingredients to uncovering ingredient sourcing, explore information about the molecular building blocks of one of the largest industries in the world.
business and economics students
Compile management and executive histories and build profiles of the companies making it all happen while analyzing supply chains alongside benefits of the country of manufacture vs. countries of distribution.
pr, marketing, and legal students
Find news and media sources to create marketing strategy histories. Compare corporate press releases with changes in governmental regulations. Look at lawsuit histories, the products involved, and the press surrounding the circumstances.
Let’s build something together.
