Request for Proposals - Dively-Dupuis LGBTQ Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
Overview: The Office of Undergraduate Research is excited to announce a new initiative to support undergraduate researchers in all disciplines who are engaging in scholarship related to LGBTQ issues and rights during the Summer 2021 term. We expect to award one fellowship to a student who is working with faculty on summer projects that investigate LGBTQ scholarship, broadly defined.
Applicants should be currently conducting or preparing to conduct research on any element of LGBTQ scholarship and/or its impact on society. The scope of acceptable projects can be at the university, regional, national, or international level. We are recruiting projects from all disciplines and want to create a small multi-disciplinary group of researchers.
Accepted applicants will be part of the 2021 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program.
SURF Requirements: SURF fellows must attend six professional development workshops throughout the summer (Fridays 10:30 a.m. - Noon) and present a virtual poster at UCF’s Summer Scholars Symposium on July 30. SURF scholars typically commit 10-20 hours weekly on their project through the Summer C term.
SURF students must graduate after December 2021 and be in good standing with UCF (e.g., not on academic probation).
Compensation: Undergraduate fellows will receive a $1,500 scholarship. Students must enroll in at least one course in summer A or C to receive the academic scholarship; they can enroll in Directed Independent Research 4912 credit, if appropriate.
To Apply:
Applications should be submitted here: https://our.ucf.edu/summer-undergraduate-research-fellowship/ (Select that you would like to be considered for this Endowed Fellowship in your application.)
Applications for all SURF Fellowships are due on March 8th, 2021.
