The deadline to apply to the Undergraduate Research Awards (URA) has been extended until Friday, May 9, 2025!
Students must submit a research or artistic proposal, along with a UMBC mentor support statement.
URAs provide up to $1500 in funding to
undergraduate students to support their research, scholarship, or
creative work with a UMBC faculty mentor on an original project. UMBC
students of all years and disciplines are invited to apply, as long as
they remain enrolled at UMBC long enough to complete the proposed work.
Entrepreneurship URAs provide up to $1,500
to undergraduate researchers to support the commercialization of their
ideas to solve a technical or social problem. These solutions can be new
or improved products or services, address a social or “green” concern
or promote ideas that generate artistic value. Students will collaborate
with either a faculty member or a business mentor identified or
approved by the Alex. Brown Center as they conduct their research. To be
eligible for an ENTR URA students must be enrolled as a UMBC student
for the duration of the work proposed. Preference will be given to
students enrolled in the ENTR Minor who are serious about launching a
business around their idea in the near future.
