IMPORTANT:
PROPOSALS FOR THIS INITIATIVE MAY ONLY BE SUBMITTED BY
OK NSF EPSCoR RII TRACK-1 S3OK FACULTY RESEARCHERS
________________________________
Faculty researchers directly affiliated with the OK NSF EPSCoR RII Track-1 project may apply for Intense Laboratory Experiences and Mentorship for Undergraduate awards, which are designed to support S3OK theme-related research experiences for Oklahoma undergraduate students in researchers’ labs during the summer months. Students will benefit from faculty mentorship while participating in intense, focused lab research. A 2019 multi-campus study funded by the Council on Undergraduate Research found that students who perform research as undergrads are more than 30% more likely to graduate than their peers and as much as 48% more likely to pursue STEM-related doctoral degrees.
Proposals will be awarded via a competitive review process based on proposal integrity; the engagement of early-career faculty and overall participant diversity will also be considered.
