When
Are you an undergraduate student? Have a research project you're involved in or would like to start one?
The RII-Sponsored Campuswide Undergraduate Student Initiated Original Research Program is seeking undergraduate students who want to generate their own research projects.
RII-Sponsored Campuswide Undergraduate Student Initiated Original Research Program is a new initiative to provide awards to undergraduates across all campus colleges for original, innovative student-generated research projects. Based on discussions at the Faculty Senate several years ago, RII has granted our office $15,000 per year for 5 years for undergraduates at the University of Arizona to pursue their own research questions with faculty mentors of their choice. 10-12 awardees per year will be competitively selected by a cross-campus multidisciplinary committee to receive $1,000-$1,500 each to be used for stipend/salary, travel, supplies, equipment, and/or other costs. This award may be supplemented by additional funds if promising progress is made. A Student Forum will be held in the Fall to report progress.
