Description
The Provost’s Undergraduate Research Fund supports Brandeis students’ research and creative scholarship during the summer and academic year, as well as conference presentations of accepted work. Administered by the Undergraduate Research and Creative Collaborations office (URCC), it supports all disciplines, including the creative arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and interdisciplinary fields.
Summer fellowships support intensive, faculty-mentored projects and participation in Brandeis’s undergraduate research community. Academic-year awards help cover expenses for senior theses and non-thesis projects during fall and spring semesters. Conference awards help students share research or creative projects through presentations or exhibitions at academic or professional disciplinary conferences.
