Research Spring Mini Grants; New URECA!
deadline Mini Grants
I am pleased to announce
the Undergraduate Research Spring
2011 Mini Grant Awards. The Mini Grants are
designed to promote
faculty-mentored undergraduate research or
creative projects in all disciplines,
including the humanities, fine arts, social
sciences, professional studies, 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.
Students should submit an
application cover page, a 2-3 page
narrative describing the nature of their
research project, budget information, and
an endorsement by the faculty mentor.
The proposal may be an extension of
an existing research project or one
newly developed. Students who have
previously received a Mini Grant must detail
how the proposed research differs from or
extends previously funded research. Detailed information
about the application
process, including additional guidelines, is
available at: http://www.uvm.edu/ugresearch/?Page=grants.html
Proposals are due by 4pm
on February 18, 2011.
In fairness to all applicants, no
late
submissions will be accepted and only
complete applications will be reviewed.
A faculty committee
evaluates proposals. Proposals
will be considered on the basis of their
quality and the value of the research or
creative experience for the student. Students selected for
the program will each receive
up to $500 for operating expenses.
