UROP Spring Call for Proposals
May 15, 2008 at 10:19 am by Ryan Lombardini
Dear Members of the
We are pleased to announce the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) Spring Call for Proposals in support of faculty-mentored undergraduate research and creative projects. All undergraduate students in good academic standing and from all disciplines are encouraged to respond to the current call for proposals. Proposals should be prepared by the student applicant and jointly submitted by the student and a faculty member.
UROP will fund a varied set of projects, with requests up to $1,000 for individual projects, where average amount of funding has been close to $550. For group proposals that involve multiple students, requests can be for up to $2,500, where the average amount of funding has been close to $1,200.
Funds can be used to support such expenditures as the purchase of materials and supplies, research-related travel, and the costs incurred in the presentation of research or creative activities. These funds cannot support major hardware purchases, salaries or stipends, or travel expenditures only. Proposals requiring no funding, or receiving adequate funding from departmental or other sources, may be submitted for a UROP Honorary Fellowship.
Proposal packets are submitted online by providing appropriate information about the undergraduate researchers, their faculty mentors and additional details related to the proposed project. In addition, submitters will be asked to upload additional documents including the proposal, and a personal statement for each undergraduate group member evaluating her/his research experience and its impact on her/his education, as applicable. The research proposal should include background and objective of the research project, student’s specific responsibility, project’s timeline, and budget details and justification for the project. If the research involves human subjects or the use of live vertebrate animals, the appropriate IRB or IACUC protocol number is required. Please refer to http://www.rgs.uci.edu/ora/ for guidelines and appropriate forms.
Complete proposals must be submitted online at the UROP Web site (http://www.urop.uci.edu/grants.html), by
A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the undergraduate researcher(s) and faculty mentor(s) once the submission has been received. This confirmation will provide a secure Web link that would allow students and faculty mentors to access and update the submission. In addition, faculty mentors will be asked to upload one letter of recommendation per project, which would evaluate the student’s performance to date and capacity to complete the proposed activities.
The UROP Faculty Advisory Board will review the proposals. Standards for evaluation of funding requests include:
-Intellectual merit in the student’s proposed research activity
-Thoroughness and completeness of the proposal packet
-Level of commitment and support from the faculty
-Assessment of student’s
Successful applicants will be notified by
