Each year, the Office of Undergraduate Research is committed to sponsoring up to 5 undergraduate students who have been accepted to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), to include paying for registration, transportation, lodging, and meals. Abstract submissions are due in early December each year, and the conference typically takes place the following April.

More information will be sent out to qualified undergraduate presenters in January when abstracts are reviewed and accepted by the conference organizers.

More information about the conference and how to submit an abstract can be found by clicking the button below.
