VURF Call for Proposals, 2013-2014
The Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships in the Office of Research and Graduate Programs, the College of Engineering, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have announced the ninth annual Call for Proposals for the Villanova Undergraduate Research Fellows (VURF) Program. Undergraduates from all of the Colleges may apply for funding to undertake a scholarly research project with a Faculty Sponsor.
Research projects will be conducted during the summer, and students funded by the program will receive a stipend of $3,500 for their summer projects. On-campus housing accommodations for the summer are available for students whose research requires ready access to campus resources. Students must complete the application for summer housing (available shortly) in order to be considered for these accommodations.
The VURF Program also will provide up to $1500 of funding for summer research - for equipment, supplies, travel and other expenses related to conducting research. A limited number of travel grants up to $500 are available on a first-come basis for students to present their research at undergraduate or professional research conference. Applicants for travel grants – as well as their research mentors - must submit the Research Conference Travel Request Forms on the CURF website.
Details of the VURF application process can be found here.
The application deadline is March 11, 2013. Award decisions will be made in late March.
