This final internal document should identify the major results and accomplishments of the inquiry-based scholarship performed by the student across the year. Accomplishments of the project should be provided in both qualitative and quantitative form. For work in the sciences, this would be in the form of a results section, relevant figures or tables, and a brief analysis of the impact of the work on the field. For work in the arts or humanities, a description or visual representation of the work should be provided, with an analysis of the importance of the work to the discipline and identifying any opportunities to display or present the work to a broader audience. Please be prepared to upload this document as a pdf or Word document.
Be sure to include a description of any outcomes such as conference presentations (past or future), manuscripts (in-preparation, submitted, or accepted/published), recitals, exhibitions, or any other scholarly outcome.
Applications for the 2024-2025 Undergraduate Research and Inquiry Grants must be written jointly by both the student(s) and faculty mentor(s), with the faculty member(s) responsible for submitting the application online through Submittable. This grant is intended to be a collaborative effort between students and faculty members from idea generation through project completion. Please note instructions denoting student(s) and faculty member(s) contributions on the application. Faculty from diverse disciplines will be reviewing these grant proposals, so please make sure that the application is written for review by individuals outside your discipline.
Approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is not required at the time of application, but all projects requiring interaction with human subjects must be approved by the IRB prior to participant research being initiated. Likewise, projects involving non-human vertebrate animals will require Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval before research can be initiated. Notification of IRB or IACUC approval must be provided to the Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI) when granted in order for grant funds to be released.
Failure to follow the guidelines may prevent your application from being funded.
Please direct any questions to the Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI@ut.edu).
