Summer Undergraduate Research Fund (SURF)

SURF 2008

The UConn Summer Undergraduate Research Fund (SURF) supports University of Connecticut full-time undergraduate students who are engaged in summer research or creative projects under the supervision of a University of Connecticut faculty member. Administered through the Office of Undergraduate Research, SURF grants are available to students in all majors at all UConn campuses. SURF project proposals are reviewed by faculty, and SURF grants are awarded through a competitive process.

The maximum total amount awarded for SURF grants is $3,500.00

SURF Notification to Students:

• Notification emails for SURF 2008 will go out on Monday, March 24, 2008. We apologize for the delay in sending notification to students and their faculty advisors. We have been working diligently to fund as many SURF awards as possible, and that has caused delays we did not anticipate. We appreciate your patience, and we will be in touch with all applicants by email on Monday. As always, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Research with questions or concerns.

Tips for good SURF proposals and an explanation of the application are available through the “SURF TIPS” button on the left tool bar below the link to the SURF on-line application.

Examples of past SURF abstracts are available to view in CUE 419.
