This workshop—a partnership of the Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (OUR), the University Library System, and faculty members from the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences—is designed to teach undergraduates how to craft effective independent research proposals for award and funding opportunities. Participants will learn techniques to strengthen proposals and discuss best practices with faculty experts. Students considering applying for the Office of Undergraduate Research Summer Undergraduate Research Awards, Spring Archival Scholars Research Awards, New York City Field Studies, London Field Studies, or other opportunities for independent research are encouraged to register.
