Faculty and Staff: Research Partnerships
Faculty Grants for Undergraduate Research
The proposal submission form is closed.
Individual faculty members may receive funds to involve undergraduates in their research or current scholarly projects. The program aims to provide a bridge for students between introductory coursework and advanced independent study. Faculty grants provide student stipends; travel expenses are eligible for limited support.
There will be two proposal submission deadlines for the 2009-2010 Academic Year:
- October 12th, 2009
- January 11th, 2010
Student Evaluations
As part of our effort to improve student research experiences, we ask that students take the following survey. Faculty and departmental research coordinators should urge previously funded students should take this survey as soon as possible after project compeletion.
In collaboration with staff from the Provost's Office of Institutional Research and Decision Support, VPUE alerts students to their evaluation responsibilities and provides these students with a survey URL. Research mentors and coordinators do not need to refer students to a specific survey at this time.
Reviewers examine these evaluations closely when making funding decisions.
Research Opportunities Listing Service
Faculty should consider using this service to recruit students for positions funded through a faculty grant.
Departmental Grants for Undergraduate Research
The proposal submission form is closed.
The Departmental Grants programs expand opportunities for undergraduates to work with faculty on research and scholarship. The programs match students with faculty mentors and provide them with stipends for full-time summer work and / or wages for part-time research during the academic year. Chairs or undergraduate studies directors, interdisciplinary programs and research centers may sponsor programs. Research institutes and centers are also eligible to participate.
There is one proposal submission deadline for the 2009-2010 Academic Year:
- October 12th, 2009
Student Grants
The Student Grants Program offers funding directly to students who write their own research or creative arts proposals and who have a faculty sponsor.
Students working towards an honors thesis (e.g.- in the summer between their junior and senior years) should apply for Student Grants, as they are NOT eligible for support through VPUE Faculty or Departmental Grants.
