About
Community College Field Biology Alliance (CCFBA) is a research internship that pairs community college students with UCLA graduate student mentors for ecological field work. Founded and directed by a biology instructor at Riverside City College, it has drawn interns from 10 Los Angeles-area community colleges, in cohorts of about a dozen students, the earliest listed from 2019. Recent interns have collected ecological data in the Sierra Nevada for the National Ecological Observatory Network and presented their projects at a 2025 research symposium.
