The Center for Undergraduate Research has some important upcoming deadlines:
- Graduate Research Consultants: This program is designed to support instructors interested in incorporating research into their undergraduate classes, providing financial assistance ($500) to a graduate student to mentor student researchers for class projects.
- Undergraduate Research Awards: These awards provide support ($1,000) for original, independent research, scholarship, or creative work by Lawrence-campus undergraduates, under the general guidance of a member of the faculty. We will have two proposal workshops to help students revise their research proposals, so be sure to mark your calendars and bring a draft for review!
