The Undergraduate Research Committee has three programs for supporting undergraduate research, as described below:

Research Grants:
Supply and expense grants of up to $500 per project are awarded to Towson University undergraduate students engaged in scholarly research activities under the mentorship of Towson University faculty members. Research funds may be used for supplies, books, software, equipment and travel as appropriate to the project. Projects may be carried out over one or two semesters and involve close collaboration of the student and faculty member.

Travel Grants
The travel grant program allows students to apply for up to $500 from the Towson Undergraduate Research Committee to attend a professional meeting at which the student will be the primary presenter of an oral seminar or a research poster.

Small Project Grants
These Grants award up to $100 for smaller projects. Funds may be used for supplies, books, software, equipment, fees, etc as appropriate to the project.

Application
The Fall application deadline for Research and Travel awards is September 23rd. Spring application deadline is February 12 th. Small Project Awards have no set deadline, but the committee will start reviewing applications on a rolling basis starting September 23rd.


Guidelines and Application Form for all three programs may be downloaded here.

The URC may add additional deadlines for Travel Grants each semester, if funds are available. The second deadline will be announced after the Committee has considered all the applications from the fall deadline. We hope to let applicants know the status of their requests within two weeks of each deadline.
