The Undergraduate Research Initiative announces two new funds for undergraduate student research:
The Undergraduate Student Researcher Stipend. This stipend enables undergraduate students to carry our mentored research projects and creative works activities. This stipend allows undergraduate students to enrich their university experience through hands-on discovery and skill development in a research intensive university. Priority is given to interdisciplinary work. The stipend is $5000 and may be held full time for 4 months (any time of the year) or part time for up to a year. The first application deadline is March 5, 2012.
The Undergraduate Research Support Fund. This fund supports undergraduate research and creative works activities at the University of Alberta. These activities include equipment, supplies, or software necessary to complete an undergraduate project; student group trips to research facilities; undergraduate research colloquia; and any other support that encourages undergraduate student engagement in research and creative works. Any member of the University of Alberta community (faculty, post doctoral fellows, graduate students, research assistants, undergraduate students) may apply for up to $500. Deadline: Six weeks prior to need
