What's New

Dr. Mark Tseytlin is seeking highly motivated undergraduate students to lead one of many project tasks in collaboration with other lab members. Students will gain invaluable expertise and, likely, co-author a publication in a peer-revived journal. This position is volunteer, but students can apply for WVU funding.

The Johns Hopkins University's Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium was designed to offer students across the country the chance to gather together and disseminate their humanities and interdisciplinary research on a national scale. The third annual Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium will be held virtually on April 8-10, 2022.  

The 2022 Macksey Symposium will feature the following:

The Hollings Scholarship Program provides successful undergraduate applicants with awards that include academic assistance (up to $9,500 per year) for two years of full-time study and a 10-week, full-time paid ($700/week) internship at a NOAA facility during the summer.

The internship between the first and second years of the award provides the scholars with hands-on, practical experience in NOAA-related science, research, technology, policy, management, and education activities. Awards also include travel funds to attend a mandatory NOAA Scholarship Program orientation and the annual Science & Education Symposium, scientific conferences where students present their research, and a housing subsidy for scholars who do not reside at home during the summer internship.

CUR is excited for another year of the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR). We can't wait to share important details, deadlines, and more with you in the coming weeks. CUR has been working diligently on preparing an amazing, interactive, and meaningful experience for all students and mentors. Due to the increase levels and community spread of the Delta variant and campus travel restrictions, NCUR will remain virtual. This year, however, will be planned out a little differently. Please note the following:

Some of the many new offerings: 

The Council of Undergraduate Research, Psychology Division is offering a limited number of research (e.g., supplies or expenses) or presentation (travel/conference registration) awards for undergraduate students conducting original psychological research (up to $400 per project). 

Please note that while multiple applications from the same lab/mentor will be accepted, we will typically only fund one per lab/mentor in an application year.  Additional funding per lab may vary based on total overall number of applications for the year.

The WVU AGE-ADAR Scholars Program is recruiting for the 2022 Summer Research Internship. This program is funded by the National Institute on Aging giving hands-on research experience to underrepresented MSTEM students (rising sophomores and juniors by the end of spring 2022) who are interested in aging research or health disparities in Appalachia. 

Dr. William Morgan's lab is seeking an undergraduate researcher for assistant on a project investigating the impact of mindfulness on second language proficiency. This position is currently volunteer, though there are opportunities for funding in the future.
