Undergraduate Research Awards: Committee 2007-2008

Review of URA proposals is conducted by an interdisciplinary faculty review committee. Once proposals are received, additional ad hoc reviewers may be recruited as needed. Discipline-specific subcommittees give particular scrutiny to the proposals in their fields, using the structured rating sheet. All committee members also review all proposals for soundness of research methodology and other specified factors. In a final selection meeting, the full committee considers the rankings and recommendations of the subcommittees as a starting point for discussion. As many worthy proposals as possible receive full or partial funding, up to the limit of available funds.

Faculty who may be interested in becoming a member of the URA Committee, should contact Janet McGlynn (5-5754, mcglynn@umbc.edu).
