For the upcoming 2021-2022 academic year, the Center for Undergraduate Research Experiences is announcing the following two undergraduate research opportunities:
Provost’s 2021-2022 Academic Year Student-Faculty Undergraduate Research Program
Deadline: August 30, 2021
This academic-year research award program is for undergraduate students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year in September 2021. The program supports faculty-mentored projects developed in courses and research settings. Please share this information with your students.
Federal Work-Study Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program 2021-2022 Academic Year
Deadline: August 30, 2021
The Center for Undergraduate Research Experiences launched a pilot federal work-study undergraduate research assistantship program during the 2020-2021 academic year. The goal for 2021-2022 is to expand this program but to do so requires two essential elements:
- faculty proposals for assistantship positions, and
-
student awareness that federal work-study awards can be used for campus research assistantships.
Please propose a student position to support your research! Additionally, communicate this opportunity to your students and majors now so they understand their federal work-study funds can be earned working as research assistants.
For more information contact Maria Iacullo-Bird, PhD, Assistant Provost for Research, miacullobird@pace.edu
