Description
The Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program, administered by the Roberta Buffett Institute at Northwestern University, provides funding for faculty to engage undergraduate students as research fellows on global or international projects. The program aims to foster collaborative research experiences by enabling faculty to hire individuals or teams of undergraduates to work closely with them on research initiatives that begin in the summer and may extend through up to three quarters of the following academic year. The initiative is designed to enhance faculty research with an international dimension while providing students with valuable hands-on research experience and direct faculty mentorship.
