SHARE WITH STUDENTS: Spring 2018 Chancellor's Undergraduate Research Awards (CURA)!
The Office of Undergraduate Research in the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs and Academic Programs is pleased to announce that a number of Chancellor’s Undergraduate Research Awards (CURA) are available for Spring 2018.
The CURA program supports research collaborations involving undergraduate work-study students. The faculty member applies on behalf of themselves and the student by filling out a simple online application linked to the Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) website ature.uic.edu/facfws.php#apply
Students may register for research or independent study credit concurrent with the CURA with the approval of their undergraduate advisors and/or directors of undergraduate studies. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and awards will be granted to qualifying applicants through the month of February.
To find a prospective research mentor, students should go to ure.uic.edu and search by department, faculty name or keyword to find available positions. Note: students can only apply for a spring award if they have already accepted federal work study as part of their AY 17-18 financial aid package. FWS status can be seen on the financial aid page of the student portal.
Thank you, advisors, for your support of undergraduate research, which is a high-impact experience correlated with student success! If you have questions, feel free to email the Office of Undergraduate Research at our@uic.edu.
