URECA! Undergraduate Research Endeavors Competitive Awards
We are very pleased to announce the continuation of the URECA!
program. Undergraduate Research Endeavors Competitive Awards (URECA!)
is designed to stimulate undergraduate research with faculty
mentoring. This student-faculty research program is designed to
encourage students under the guidance of faculty mentors to
incorporate research experience more fully into undergraduate
education, and provide incentives for students and faculty who engage
in meaningful research collaboration.
URECA! provides funding for research projects in all disciplines,
including the humanities, the social sciences, and the physical and
life sciences. All full-time undergraduate students are eligible,
and any member of the UVM faculty may act as a mentor. Research
projects that are associated with course credit may be eligible for
URECA! funding if the proposed project will provide a research
component beyond what would otherwise be done to earn course credit.
Students should submit an application cover page, a 2-3 page
narrative describing the nature of their research project, budget
information, their resume, an endorsement by the faculty mentor, and
the faculty mentor's c.v. The proposal may be an extension of an
existing research project or one newly-developed for URECA! Students
who have previously received URECA! funds must detail how the
proposed research differs from and/or extends previously funded
URECA! research. Detailed information about the application process,
including guidelines, is available on the web at URECA![1]
Proposals are due by noon on Monday, February 8, 2010.
Evaluation of proposals will be undertaken by the Faculty Senate
Research, Scholarship, and Graduate Education Committee. Proposals
will be evaluated on the basis of quality, the value of the research
experience for the student and the record of the faculty member.
Students selected for the program will each receive a $1,000 prize
and research support up to $3,000. A detailed budget with full
justification of all requested research expenses is required.
While the Faculty Senate Research, Scholarship and Graduate
Education Committee will evaluate the proposals and award the
scholarships, the Honors College will administer the application
process and oversee administration of the program. Any questions
about the program may be directed to the Undergraduate Research
Office in the Honors College at 656-5533.
