The Undergraduate Research Amplification Project, funded by Student Governing Association, will offer 10 undergraduates $2,000.00 to support their unfunded, student-directed research project for one academic year.

With this funding, SDUR hopes to amplify research in areas of study which are traditionally under-funded, and where the student is the primary researcher. Students with a lack of access to research opportunities are welcome to consult with SDUR for assistance with generating a proposal prior to applying. Students are encouraged to identify a faculty mentor to guide them through their research project, but SDUR staff will assist with this process if needed.

Students are expected to engage in 6-10 hours per week of research-related activities, to regularly engage with SDUR staff for advising, and to present their findings in the Spring Campus-Wide Undergraduate Research Symposium.

The deadline for the 2026-2027 application is Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026.
