Scholars Transforming Through Research (STR)
Alexandria, Virginia
Deadline: September 7, 2022 at 11:59 pm EST
The STR Program is a six-month enhanced program event that has replaced Posters on the Hill and REU Symposium while drawing on their successes. The STR program is a unique professional development opportunity for faculty/mentors and undergraduate research students. Per the announcement below, in teams of up to three - two students and one team leader - participants will garner communication and advocacy skills to leverage the impact of their undergraduate research experience by conveying their story to stakeholder groups such as funding agencies, association partners, elected officials, future employers, community members, and beyond".
The six-month program begins with a two-day in-person training in Virginia with subsequent webinars. This is an incredible opportunity for faculty/mentors and our undergraduate students to gain invaluable insight and experience in translating the impact of scholarly, creative and research activities on campus! Applications are accepted in the following disciplines: arts and humanities, biology, chemistry, engineering, geosciences, health sciences, mathematics/computer science, physics/astronomy, psychology, social sciences, interdisciplinary and other.
Undergraduates can submit an abstract describing their research in any of CUR's divisions: arts and humanities, biology, chemistry, engineering, geosciences, health sciences, mathematics/computer science, physics/astronomy, psychology and social sciences.
