Undergraduate Research Consultant Teams (URCTs)

URCT’s are small “strike teams” in any discipline who have a well-defined research question, outreach need, or design challenge that could be completed in a relatively short time period by an interdisciplinary team of 3-5 undergraduate students guided by a faculty advisor.  The goals of the URCT program are to (1) provide students with opportunities for inquiry and discovery in the context of real-world cutting-edge research, and (2) foster interactions between disciplines (e.g. Humanities and Natural and Social Sciences) that reflect the diversity of perspectives necessary to solve society’s problems. URCT proposals can be generated by faculty members or students. Awards of up to $10,000 per team will be provided to cover the costs of conducting the project (e.g. supplies, travel, etc.) and graduate research assistant support.

IF you have an idea for a research project, proposals are due on November 1^st for spring semester teams.  If you are a student interested in participating in a URCT please complete the interest form.  If you want to form a team you can search for students by their expertise in the URCT Interest Database.
