Check out the NCUR 2022 FAQs Opens in new window for all sorts of details about the conference and abstracts.

SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT & REGISTER to be ELIGIBLE for ORSP FUNDING:

Step 1: Register with NCUR and Submit your Abstract
Deadline: October 20, 2021
A. Create an NCUR account. Use your CSUF email address to register with NCUR (it's free!). If you used your personal email address, please contact NCUR@cur.org to change it to your CSUF email address. You will then be directed to the NCUR 2022 @Home Abstract Submission Site. 

B. Submit your Abstract. Have this information typed up already so you can copy and paste it into the submission spot. You must use your CSUF email address to submit the abstract (do not use your faculty sponsor's e-mail address to submit an abstract).
– Abstract Title (no more than 30 words – use Title Case)
– Abstract (up to 300 words)
– Subject Area
– Type of Presentation (all presentations will have the opportunity to present for 10-15 minutes – posters and art images too!).  
– Your Faculty Mentor's Name, Email, and Institution (that's us - CSUF)
– Campus Coordinator (ours is Leilani Fitzgerald, her title is an "analyst" and her institution is CSUF)
– Campus Coordinator Address (1121 N. State College Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92831)
– Campus Coordinator Phone (657.278.3360)
– Campus Coordinator Email (scar@fullerton.edu)
 
FYI: Projects do not have to be completed at the time of submission. If your project hasn't been complete prior to the abstract submission deadline, you can use phrases such as "I anticipate that the results will be...". Please summarize what have done so far, and what you hope to finish by the time of the conference. Additionally, NCUR allows students to submit previously published or previously presented work during abstract submission. To be eligible for ORSP funding, abstracts must be submitted by Oct 20, 2021. 
Step 2: Forward your NCUR abstract submission acceptance email to   scar@fullerton.edu by December 3, 2021.
This is the email you get from NCUR saying your submission was accepted to the conference. Acceptances should go out from NCUR the week of November 15th. Forward your acceptance email with the subject line: Your Last Name NCUR 2022 (e.g. Luu NCUR 2022). In the email you forward, include the following:
– Last Name
– First Name
– Email
– Presentation Title
– Additional Presentation Author Names
– Major
– College
– Faculty Mentor
We will let you know within a week about paying your registration.
IMPORTANT: Students may only apply once for funding consideration. If there are multiple presenters on one presentation, each must register with NCUR and each must individually forward us the acceptance email that includes their name and the details requested above. We cannot provide funding for more than two eligible presenters on any team projects.
The first 100 students to complete the steps above, will receive an email from   scar@fullerton.edu   indicating that CSUF will pay their registration fee. Again, two students on one presentation are welcome to apply for registration funding, but each needs to forward the abstract acceptance separately to   scar@fullerton.edu, as well as individually completing the requirements detailed above.
Step 3: When you hear back from SCAR with directions for registering, register for the event.
We will tell you how to register so that ORSP pays for your registration (how nice is that!). So unless you want to pay for your own registration, DO NOT register for NCUR 2022 until you hear from   scar@fullerton.edu. We will provide registration and payment directions.
Important:
Students who miss the deadline or cut-off for free registration will receive an email from scar@fullerton.edu indicating that they must register and pay for registration on their own through the NCUR website. Registration support is for CSUF undergraduate students only.
Student registration support is sponsored by the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP). Thank you ORSP!!!
