Office of the Provost Undergraduate Research Grants (URG) Program

The Office of the Provost Undergraduate Research Grants (URG) Program funds independent academic and creative work in all fields of study. Under faculty supervision, URG winners develop and carry out novel scholarly projects in the laboratory, library, fieldsite, or studio, on campus and around the world. Students of all years may apply for the two types of grants available. Academic Year Grants cover research expenses up to $1000 for a quarter-length project. Summer Grants provide $3000 to cover research and living expenses for full-time summer projects. Students can apply for Academic Year Grants at any of recurring deadlines throughout Fall and Winter Quarters, and for Summer Grants at a separate deadline in late Winter Quarter. Projects with international research travel may exceed these limits as additional funds may be awarded to help defray travel expenses.
