UROP Grant Proposals for Student Research
Due March 16
Please encourage your students to submit a grant for student research. The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) enhances undergraduate education by funding students engaged in research, scholarly, creative, and entrepreneurial activities in collaboration with faculty at the downtown Denver campus. Projects are either designed around the activities of a faculty member or designed independently by a student or team of students and endorsed by a faculty sponsor.
APPLICATION DEADLINE MARCH 16, 2007
(anticipated award announcement on April 20, 2007 at our Research and Creative Activities Day).
Participation in UROP is an intense educational experience that introduces students to the process of research, including writing a proposal, preparing a budget, conducting research, analyzing data, and bringing the project to closure in the form of a written abstract and presentation, demonstration or performance. Approximately 20-30 awards will be available through UROP for fiscal year 2007-08 (July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008). Contact Dr. Brad Stith with any questions 303-556-3371.
