Experienced and productive faculty members have agreed to supervise undergraduate students as junior colleagues in their research projects, both during the summer session and during the academic year. Previous OURE participants are eligible if the final report on their previous project has been satisfactorily completed. Students interested in a specific project suggested by faculty or in a project of their own design should contact a qualified faculty member for further information.
Projects are available during the summer and during the academic year.
Each participant and faculty sponsor is to discuss their project, come to an agreement, and submit a one page application form describing their project, the personnel involved, and the requested budget. The faculty sponsor agrees to supervise the work and certifies the educational value of the proposed project. No capital equipment funds are provided. Cost sharing from other funds is desirable to leverage the campus funds and to increase the number of students in the program. Cost sharing is not required but will be considered by the review committee.
