The Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry is pleased to award graduating students with cords recognizing significant accomplishments in research and inquiry. In order to be eligible for a graduation cord, students must meet both of the following criteria:
- Successful completion of at least one OURI research grant (SURF and/or URI); and
- Presentation of research at a peer-reviewed, disciplinary conference/exhibition OR publication in a peer-reviewed, disciplinary publication.
Please complete the application by April 30 to ensure cords will be ready in time for graduation.
At the end every URI and SURF grant, each student is required to provide information about their university-funded accomplishments. In order to close out your grant and receive your final round of funding, please answer the following questions by April 15. Note: Each student is expected to submit an individual report, but those reports may include material developed collaboratively with other team members.
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.
