Abstract of Research Results
As part of the terms of your summer stipend, you are required to submit an abstract with your research results, not to exceed 400 words (not including references), and include a picture/diagram when possible. Approval of your abstract by your advisor is required prior to submission. No edits will be made to your abstract after you submit it here.
You can find sample abstracts from previous years here, under the heading "Past SURF Project Descriptions".
If you are co-authoring an abstract with other students who have collaborated with you on your SURF project, please note that below. We ask that each student submit a copy of the abstract for our records.
