UNCW Undergraduate Research Scholars

Requirements for recognition as UNCW Undergraduate Research URI Scholar and UNCW Distinguished Undergraduate Research URI Scholar

(approved by the UNCW CSURF Board, April 2010)

Purpose

• Create a student-reported mechanism to recognize undergraduate accomplishments in research leading to dissemination beyond the UNCW community.
• Encourage students who complete a DIS or Honors project to “take the next step” and present or publish results for an off-campus audience.
• Provide a benchmark measure of curricular and extracurricular activities related to undergraduate research for use in university planning, recruiting, public relations, etc.

Structure

• Students may qualify for recognition as UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH URI SCHOLARS by completing the criteria under both Category I (Preparation) and Category II (Dissemination).
• Students may qualify for recognition as DISTINGUISHED UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH URI SCHOLARS by completing Categories I and II, and also completing the criteria under Category III (Distinction).
• Record-keeping relies on student reporting, pending confirmation from faculty advisors and approval by CSURF board.
• Application for Recognition: There are two steps for application.
  • Step 1: Enter all information related to presentations, publications, awards, etc, at the URI- Undergraduate Research Involvement site. Both students and faculty mentors have access to that site.
  • Step 2: Register to be considered as an Undergraduate Research URI Scholar or Distinguished Scholar.

Recognition

• UNCW Undergraduate Research URI Scholars and Distinguished Undergraduate Research URI Scholars will be recognized annually.
• Be sure to submit your research products to the URI Collection in Randall Library.
