UW-Madison undergraduate research awards

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.

Venturewell sponsors undergraduate R&D in Garage Physics. Contact Professor Carlsmith for further information.

The Department of Physics maintains a list of opportunities at http://www.physics.wisc.edu/academics/undergrads/news.

Application forms are available at the websites listed below. Questions may be directed to Julie Stubbs, Director of the Undergraduate Academic Awards Office (1107 Nancy Nicholas Hall, 265-2428, awards@provost.wisc.edu).

SOPHOMORE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS ***New this year***

Funded by a one-year University of Wisconsin System Undergraduate Research & Discovery Grant, the Sophomore Research Fellowships support undergraduate research done in collaboration with UW–Madison faculty or research/instructional academic staff. Approximately 15 awards are available. The student researcher receives $2,500, and the faculty/staff research advisor receives $500 to help offset research costs (e.g., supplies, faculty or student travel related to the project). The application deadline is March 9, 2015. Directions for accessing the on-line application, instructions and FAQs can be found at the UAA website. http://awards.advising.wisc.edu/sophomore-research-fellowship/ .

HILLDALE UNDERGRADUATE/FACULTY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS AND HOLSTROM ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOLARSHIPS provide support for collaborative research between undergraduate students and faculty or research/instructional academic staff members. Each provides a grant of $3,000 to the student and $500 to the faculty/staff mentor (up to $1,000 under exceptional circumstances) to help offset research costs. Students must have at least junior standing at the time of application. The Holstrom Scholarships require an environmental focus. We’re pleased to announce this year the McPherson Eye Research Institute will sponsor one additional Hilldale Fellowship for vision based research (including bioengineering, imaging, data visualization, ophthalmology and general biology of the eye). The application deadline is February 17, 2014. Directions for accessing the on-line application, instructions and FAQs can be found at the UAA website. < http://www.provost.wisc.edu/hilldale.htm>

WISCONSIN IDEA UNDERGRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS are awarded to undergraduate students to develop and implement community-based research or service-learning projects that will meet a community identified need (local, national or international) under the supervision of a UW-Madison faculty or instructional academic staff member. Fellowships provide three (3) academic credits, a stipend of up to $3000 to a student ($5000 for a group of up to five students) and up to $2000 to help offset project related costs. The application deadline for 2014-15 fellowships is February 14, 2014. The on-line application, instructions and FAQs can be found on the Morgridge Center for Public Service website. < http://morgridge.wisc.edu/programs/wif/ >

UNIVERSITY BOOK STORE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AWARDS provide $1,000 to undergraduate students who have distinguished themselves by completing outstanding projects, such as a senior thesis, at UW-Madison. Students must be enrolled in a degree program during the 2013-14 academic year (December 2013 graduates may apply). Applications are due March 24, 2014. Directions for accessing the on-line application can be found at the UAA website. < http://www.provost.wisc.edu/university-bookstore.htm>

WID Frontier Fellows program for undergraduates http://wid.wisc.edu/fellows/frontier-fellows/

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 UW Undergraduate Research Program: http://www.lssaa.wisc.edu/urs/research/index.html

Other undergraduate research awards

The "Future Faces of Physics" 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 http://www.spsnational.org/programs/awards/futurefaces.htm

Society of Physics Students Marsh White Awards--Outreach to the general public like the WI Science Festival would qualify for this award. Deadline Nov 15 http://www.spsnational.org/programs/awards/white.htm
