Friday, May 20, is the last day for undergraduate researchers to apply for funding for fall 2011 through the President's Undergraduate Research Awards (PURA).

The main emphases of the awards will be for student salaries and travel expenses for undergraduates to attend professional meetings to give presentations. Students should contact individual faculty members for undergraduate research projects. Either faculty or students can initiate projects but the proposal must be written by the student. Students wishing to work at GTRI may also apply with a Research Scientist.

Students may apply online for $1500 (max) salary awards or $1000 (max) travel awards. Students are eligible for only one successful salary award per academic year, but may apply for travel awards within the same academic year.
