Undergraduate Research Grants

Undergraduate Research Grants may be requested to:

  • support for research-related supplies, services, and materials costs,
  • support research-related travel (such as field studies or trips to primary source collections), or
  • support travel to professional meetings and conferences where students present the results of their research.

URES 197 Project

URES 197 is a course in which a student conducts individual or group research as a part of a faculty member’s research project. This guided research experience is open to all students, including first- and second-year students, who meet the qualifications set by the faculty member in charge of the research project.  Students serve as research apprentices who conduct important tasks with the faculty member on his or her project and learn about the process and products of the research as a result.
