Provost’s Student-Faculty Summer 2021 Undergraduate Research Award Application

The goal of this Pace program is to support faculty-mentored undergraduate research or artistic projects from across schools, colleges and disciplines during the summer and academic year.

Designed for undergraduate students who have completed their freshman, sophomore, or junior year, this program supports projects that have evolved from mentored coursework and research settings that would benefit from further, in-depth development.

Student awardees receive a stipend paid in installments. Faculty mentors receive a stipend, or, contribution to their scholarly research account.

For Summer 2021, all student awardees are expected to:

1. attend a program launch event in May
2. work part-time on their projects throughout the summer
3. participate in regular check-ins with their faculty mentor no less than twice a month
4. write reflections about the research experience
5. submit a research paper, or creative/artistic project as the program concludes
6. present at the Fall Undergraduate Research Showcase

For Summer 2021, students in consultation with their faculty mentors are encouraged to develop summer research and artistic projects that can: a) be conducted remotely; b) include both remote and on-site components; or c) for on-site research include an optional remote component. All research and creative work must be done in accordance with the Office of the Provost and the Office of Research COVID-19 guidelines and requirements.

Federal Work-Study funds are awarded to students in their financial aid packages. To involve more students in research, students can earn their work study allocations through working in campus jobs that include research assistantships with faculty members.

Benefits include:

• introducing research earlier in a student’s college years, since entering freshman will be eligible along with all other full-time undergraduate students;
• helping to ensure greater inclusion and diversity among student researchers; and,
• providing an opportunity for faculty to obtain assistantship support for research and enhance opportunities for student-faculty collaboration on academic projects.

If a student has work-study dollars to earn, this initiative seeks to fulfill the intent of “work-study” by offering jobs directly related to research, field-related learning, and artistic/creative inquiry.

For the 2020-2021 Academic Year, virtual conference fees for student presenters at external conferences are eligible for funding. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis subject to funding availability. However, applications must be submitted at least one month before the conference. The presentation must be for scholarly research or artistic projects, the student must be an active presenter at the conference and listed in the conference program.
