Description
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Psychology Division offers a limited number of awards to undergraduate students conducting original psychological research. Research awards support supplies and other project expenses, while presentation awards support travel and conference registration. Students must serve as the primary investigators on their projects, such as honors research or student-directed independent studies.
Selection emphasizes scholarly merit and considers students’ roles in developing and conducting the research, the experience’s contribution to their undergraduate training and long-term goals, and how funding would enable fuller research participation. Where applicable, applicants may explain how the researchers or project contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion within psychology.
