Description/Abstract
The University of Missouri (MU) Office of Undergraduate Research administers a number of different summer programs for MU and visiting students. By combining the logistical work, fiscal work and registration, educational and social programming, and evaluation, we can achieve an economy of scale and provide a group experience for the single summer student funded by a faculty member and relieve the faculty member of the logistical burdens of locating housing, paying stipends, and ensuring compliance (i.e. , RCR training) and evaluation which are important to funding agencies. In 2014, more than 100 students participated in our program funded by 16 different accounts.
