To assist students in developing successful proposals we are providing examples of proposals that were funded by the Undergraduate Research Grant. We hope that reviewing these proposals will assist students in better understanding what the Review Committee is looking for when awarding funding.  The Office of Instructional Development and the Undergraduate Research Grant Review Committee wishes to thank the students who agreed to have their proposals posted online.
