Board of Visitors Fund for Undergraduate Research

In 2013, the Physics Department's Board of Visitors has graciously established a new fund to support physics undergraduate research. Questions about the fund may be addressed to Professor Carlsmith.

Professional Organizations

American Institute of Physics http://www.aip.org/

Society of Physics Students http://www.spsnational.org/

Optical Society of American http://www.osa.org

Funding available to undergraduates

1. The "Future Faces" Award--Outreach to underrepresented students in physics. Can the physics club and garage physics partner up to do a project to reach out to students in rural WI and show them the awesomeness of physics? Or to minority students in Milwaukee? Or young women in the Madison area? You get the idea. Deadline Oct 15

2. Marsh White Awards--Outreach to the general public. Projects similar to the one you want to do for the WI Science Festival would qualify for this award. Deadline Nov 15

3. Undergraduate Research Award--for general research projects. If Garage Physics members ever decide to take on a bigger project, this is a great place to get the funds for it. Deadline Nov 15
