News for and about University of Portland faculty and staff.
Application for Summer 2023 Provost’s Initiative for Undergraduate Research awards are available now in the Undergraduate Research section of PilotsUP. Applications for Summer 2023 are due February 15 at noon.
Since its inauguration in 2015, the Provost’s Initiative for Undergraduate Research has provided support for faculty members from across the University who collaborate with undergraduates on a semester-long research project. The provost’s office is committed to increasing opportunities for student experiential learning, and this initiative represents a key element in achieving that goal.
Faculty members are invited to apply for a Provost’s Initiative grant for support to collaborate with an undergraduate on a co-designed research project during the spring semester 2023. Students are expected to meet and work with the faculty member weekly. Students will enroll in a 493 course and will earn a minimum of 1 credit for their work on the project and produce a deliverable (research paper, lit review, or presentation, etc.) appropriate to the discipline. (Note: 1 credit hour typically requires 45 hours of work on the project, which includes faculty meeting time.) Faculty members who are new to undergraduate research at University of Portland will receive $1,500 for mentoring the student in research, while experienced faculty members will be compensated $1,000.
Applications are available here and are due November 1, 2022. Email ur@up.edu with questions or call Cara Hersh, assistant provost, at x7262.
