Subcommittee - Eligibility and Restrictions
Eligibility
Any student who is currently enrolled as a full-time
Kutztown University undergraduate
student
may
apply to the Kutztown Undergraduate Research Fund for financial
assistance to facilitate research. The student must maintain
this eligibility throughout the duration of the work, from the
time the
proposal is submitted until the time the project is completed.
We
fund three (3) types of proposals from full time undergraduate
students:
We
do not
fund proposals
for:
- travel to conferences for which abstracts have
not been accepted
by the conference organization
- wages for student workers or researchers
- travel, wages, or any other expenses for
faculty
- travel, wages, or any other expenses for
graduate
students
- travel, wages, or any other expenses for part
time students
- honoraria or gifts for participants in studies
- travel to local study sites
- software and/or hardware already available at
Kutztown University
- chemicals or other materials already available
at
Kutztown University or materials used in classes or labs at
Kutztown
University
- travel to present research done solely with
outside institutions (e.g., REU) (i.e., the KURF facilitates
research
performed at Kutztown University).
- Research where the only beneficiary is you
(i.e.,
your results must be disseminated).
- non-research projects (i.e., no other forms of
scholarly activity - this is strictly a program for funding research).
-
