Description
The Biology Division of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) offers a limited number of small research supply grants for projects involving undergraduate students. The program supports work in which modest funding can make a substantial difference to whether research moves forward, while giving undergraduates a clear and vital role in the project.
Selection emphasizes a defined undergraduate mentoring plan, meaningful student participation, and specific research outcomes. Proposals are also assessed on the practical impact of the grant and alignment with CUR’s strategic plans. The funding is provided as a stipend, with flexibility to use it beyond the current fiscal year.
