Dear Colleagues,
Tenure track and research faculty are invited to submit applications for internal funding to support undergraduate research assistants for the current academic year. This program - the UMBC Supplement for Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE) - is one of several internal funding opportunities currently posted at http://research.umbc.edu/internal-funding-opportunities.
In previous years, the SURE program has been known as the UMBC Undergraduate Research Assistantship Support (URAS) program. For the SURE program, faculty are the applicants, and supported students must be in their first four semesters at UMBC. In the complementary Undergraduate Research Award (URA) program, students are the applicants and more students are eligible. I encourage you to pursue both opportunities with different students.
SURE applications are due on Monday, September 25th. Award maximums are $1,500 and the only allowable expense is the student's hourly wage. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
—
