VPUE Faculty Grants for Undergraduate Research

VPUE Faculty Grants for Undergraduate Research are intended to promote the introduction of Stanford undergraduates to modes of inquiry, analysis, and discovery in their chosen academic discipline.  The program aims to provide a bridge between introductory coursework and more advanced independent study.  Grants will enable students to work on faculty-designed research and creative projects by funding student stipends as well as project-related travel expenses and materials.   Student participants will develop research skills under close faculty mentorship, preparing them to undertake more independent projects in the future.

There will be two proposal submission deadlines for the 2008-2009 Academic Year:
     * October 29th, 2008 (for funding available in the Winter, Spring, and Summer)
     * January 21st, 2009 (for funding available in the Spring and Summer)

Student Evaluations

As part of our effort to improve student research experiences, we ask that students take the following survey.  Previous VPUE Faculty Grant recipients should urge their students to take this survey as soon as possible after project compeletion.  REVIEWERS EXAMINE THESE EVALUATIONS CLOSELY WHEN MAKING FUNDING DECISIONS.
