Preliminary Results/ Progress (December 15): In the first reporting document, the student should describe the goals of the project and methodology, as well as any results obtained or progress made on the creative work. This document should also outline the next steps for the project as well as an updated timeline. If challenges to the progress of the work have developed, they should be identified and explored in this reporting document.

FURC is one of the largest multidisciplinary research conferences in the country, and it is available to all undergraduate researchers in the state of Florida who wish to submit their findings via poster. Along with important conference presentation experience, FURC offers some of the best networking opportunities with fellow academics and graduate programs nationwide, as well as workshops and other professional development opportunities. The University of South Florida (USF) is excited to host FURC in 2025.

Important considerations:

Students receiving this award must submit a brief report of their activities and refection on the experience to their faculty mentor and to OURI (OURI@ut.edu) within 30 days of the event.

Students who are selected for these awards and do not participate in the events will not be eligible for any funding from OURI in the future. 

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI) is pleased to accept proposals from departments and faculty to develop or redesign courses to focus on inquiry-based experiential education. These courses will ensure “students will be introduced to the tools and technologies of their disciplines” through “enhanced discipline-based courses” (Learning By Doing: Inquiry-Based Experiential Education, p. 17).
