Undergraduate Research Grants Program
The purpose of the Undergraduate Research Grant is to encourage undergraduate students from all disciplines to participate in independent research and creative projects in collaboration with FAU faculty.
Deadline Extended to 10/17 at 11:59pm!
Submission Eligibility, Deadlines, and Program Information
Deadline Dates: October 15th for Spring/Summer funding, and March 15th for Summer/Fall funding. If these dates fall on a weekend or holiday, the deadline will be the following business day.
A university-wide call for proposals will be distributed before each deadline. All proposals will be reviewed by two experts in the discipline (Faculty, post-docs and graduate students) using the judging criteria presented in the grant package guidelines.
The research or creative activity conducted by the student generally takes diverse forms of directed research, such as independent research, work on an honors thesis, or part of a larger ongoing study under the direct supervision of a full-time faculty member, rather than work conducted to fulfill regular course or seminar requirements.
