Summer Research Grants

The Undergraduate Research Center administers a summer program for current undergraduate students. 

The Summer Research Grants are intended to stimulate student/faculty collaborative projects.

• Students may request up to $3,500.  The budget can include a student stipend in addition to project expendables.
• Student stipends, if requested, will be paid on a bi-weekly basis and are taxed. When requesting a budget, students must factor in an 8% fringe rate.
• The duration of the project can vary in length based on the nature of the project, but can be no longer than 10 weeks.

• The Summer Research Program cannot fund service learning programs, tuition, DU courses (direct or indirect), or lessons.

• Proposals should be jointly submitted by the student and the faculty member.

Please note-Graduating Seniors are not eligible to apply for a Summer grant.

While most partnerships involve one-to-one work with a faculty member, students can choose to work with faculty from more than one discipline. In the event of a multiple student project, each student must submit an application stating his/her personal contribution to the project and is eligible to receive $3,500.
