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
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 2013 to
December 2013; 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.
