Description/Abstract
In this presentation, we intend to share the role that funding plays when undergraduate students are given the opportunity to participate in research with faculty mentors. We will familiarize conference participants with databases available to research institutions with local, federal, and foundation funding opportunities. We will explore various funding agency programs that provide information on funding opportunities for undergraduate research. For example, we will discuss opportunities through the National Science Foundation (e.g., REU, IUSE), National Institutes of Health, DOE, foundations etc. Also, we will review best practices in grant writing when the focus is undergraduate research opportunities.
