Undergraduate Research News
The Office of Undergraduate Research is pleased to announce two sources of funding, UR USF Travel Awards and UR USF Research Grants, available to undergraduate researchers in 2005-06. Research includes any and all scholarly and/or creative investigation through which analysis and interpretation lead to presentable conclusions. The presentation may take a myriad of forms, including but not limited to, papers, abstracts, exhibitions or performances. Any student engaged in research, scholarship or creative activity leading to a tangible product will be eligible to apply for a Research Grant, which will be for up to $500.
Normally, grant money will not be awarded for projects conducted as part of their coursework. Students may, however, apply for grants to support thesis research or to expand substantively on research begun as coursework in a previous semester. Students whose own research, including creative activity, has been selected for scholarly presentation or performance at a conference or other institution, or who are co-authors on a mentor's scholarly presentation selected for a conference, are eligible to apply for the Travel Award, which will cover up to $500 of conference-related expenses. Students are eligible to apply to both programs and it is anticipated that recipients of Research Grants will be competitive applicants for Travel Awards in subsequent semesters.
