In an effort to increase the quality of experiential learning for Missouri S&T students and to spark stronger interdisciplinary research practices among undergraduates, a new research opportunity is being announced.

The Office of Undergraduate Studies is pleased to introduce the new OURE Fellows Program!

• Research must be conducted while enrolled at Missouri S&T under the supervision of a Missouri S&T faculty member.
• Individuals and teams will orally present their proposals before a panel of judges at the Annual Undergraduate Research Conference.
• Funding of proposals will be based on student eligibility, adherence to criteria and proposal guidelines, clarity of written and oral communication and suitability of interdisciplinary research.
• The deadline for submission of proposals is March 16, 2008.
