Undergraduate Research Grant Program (UGRG)

This program is open to all University Undergraduate Students

Each year the Vice President for Research allocates $40,000 to the Honors Undergraduate Research Grant fund. Undergraduates can apply for a stipend or other expenses needed for a personalized research endeavor. Awards typically do not exceed $1300. The proposal submitted by the prospective student researcher must have the support of a faculty member, who cosigns the proposal and commits to serve as a research mentor and advisor. A review committee composed of faculty and students judges proposals. Undergraduate researchers may begin their projects as early as June 1 and projects should be concluded in summer or early in the fall semester. Applications are available each January from The Honors College in Slonaker House. The proposal deadline is in early March. For more information, contact Lucia Barton by phone at 626-7183 or send Lucia email.

Will your summer research idea take you off campus somewhere in Arizona? If so, you may be looking for a faculty mentor who is working nearby – and you may be in luck! The University of Arizona is a Land Grant university, which means that we have faculty working in all Arizona counties and with most of the tribes in the state.
