The Harrison Undergraduate Research Awards
Purpose: The University of Virginia's Harrison Undergraduate Research Awards program funds outstanding undergraduate research projects to be carried out in the summer following application for the award and the subsequent academic year. Approximately forty awards of up to $5,000 each will be granted on a competitive basis to current first-, second-, and third-year undergraduate students. Applicants must be full time undergraduates at UVA and must remain enrolled at the University through the completion of their project.
Faculty Support: Working with the guidance of a University of Virginia faculty member, each recipient will plan and implement a substantial and significant research project. The student applicant is encouraged to identify and meet with a faculty advisor to discuss the proposed project early in the process of developing a proposal. The faculty advisor will write a letter in support of the student's proposal and, upon its completion, will submit a brief narrative assessment of the student's project.
Conceptualizing a Project: Applicants are urged to think creatively in designing their research projects. Proposals focusing on any of the undergraduate fields represented at the University will be considered. Applications that integrate different areas and approaches are encouraged. Projects might involve travel, either within or outside of the U.S., to take advantage of resources that would be otherwise inaccessible to the student. Projects requiring laboratory work might call for the purchase of equipment that could not be obtained without an award of this kind.
