Office of Undergraduate Research Announcements and Updates
OUR Events and Reminders
- Spring OUR Research Award Proposals are open and will close on November 14. Please carefully review the information and instructions on the OUR funding page and use all provided templates. Don’t forget to work closely with your mentor! The OUR will provide help sessions for proposals – help sessions have been shown to increase review scores and chances of funding; you can find dates and times on the funding page. Students from all disciplines should consider submitting!
- The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) will be held April 13-15, 2023 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Abstracts are due by November 30. More information here. In addition to “typical” oral/poster research presentations, NCUR provides options for creative works (e.g., a Jazz Expo, a Mural Project). Review categories and submission types here. Inform the OUR if you’re considering NCUR as a conference option/submit to NCUR (email Dr. Showalter).
- The State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) will be held on Saturday, December 3 at UNC Wilmington. Abstracts are due October 26. Learn more at this link. Sophomores are encouraged to consider applying for a Barthalmus Award (due November 2).
- The OUR Fall seminar series still has available sessions. You can view the list of research-related topics, days, and times at this link. You can also register at the link and add choices at any time during the semester. Everyone is welcome.
- The OUR provides travel awards (accepted throughout the year) to help mitigate costs of going to a conference or discipline-related event if you are accepted to present. Make sure to read requirements and submit all necessary information.
