Resources for Research Undergraduate Research Assistantship Support (URAS) The Undergraduate Research Assistantship Support (URAS) program, which is administered by the Office of the Vice President for Research, provides funding for faculty members to support an undergraduate research assistant for up to two consecutive semesters at $750 per semester. The goal of the program is to both support faculty with their research, scholarly or creative activities, and to provide undergraduates with a rewarding research experience early in their academic careers. The URAS program is a logical first step for undergraduate students that want to enrich their academic experience by working on a research, scholarly, or creative project identified by a faculty member. Students who find their URAS experience rewarding may seek funding for their own research project through the Undergraduate Research Award (URA) program, participate in Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD), or involve themselves in one of the other research opportunities that are available through UMBC. DEADLINE FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS DECEMBER 15, 2008 URAS Application Information (links) for Spring 2009: Request for Proposals (Word Format) Application Form (Word Format) Offer and Acceptance Letter (Word Format) For questions about the URAS program, please contact: Mary Lilly |
