The
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is soliciting
applications from interested undergraduate students and faculty mentors
at all Louisiana universities and colleges. UROP, established in 1992
by the Louisiana Sea Grant (LSG) College Program, offers the Louisiana
undergraduate community funding to support hands-on research experience
in marine and coastal resource issues. Previously funded projects have dealt with topics such as coastal ecology, fisheries, aquaculture, environmental engineering, and genetics.
A
maximum of ten projects will be funded for the period March 2012 to
December 2012; each will receive $1500-2500 to cover student wages,
supplies, and necessary travel. Both student wages and academic credit
may be earned concurrently if the policies of your institution allow
this practice. Full-time undergraduate students at all Louisiana
colleges and universities are eligible.
A
written final report of research accomplishments and findings is
required. Students are also encouraged both to present their findings
at regional, national and international conferences and to publish in
peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Applications
will be accepted until 16 December 2011. An Application Form and
complete information can be found at the UROP website (click following
