Provost's Undergraduate Research Initiative (Fall)

College of Social Science / 2023-24 Academic Year
The College of Social Science announces the SSC-Provost’s Undergraduate Research Initiative Program (SSC-PURI), which supports undergraduate research through awards of up to $2,000 for Fall-Spring semesters for students majoring in our College.

The SSC-PURI provides talented undergraduates, from first-year students to seniors, with an opportunity to work closely with faculty on substantial research projects—usually, but not exclusively, as part of the faculty member’s own scholarly project.

Proposals are due on Wednesday, September 13, 2023.

Please use the Program Guidelines to aid in filling out the application.

Note: The Faculty Sponsor(s), will need to sign the application prior to submitting this application online. Chairs will need to sign indicating their willingness to match PURI funds up to $500 per student.
