The scientific process and nature of discovery. Guidance in developing a personal plan for immersion in research and scholarship as an undergraduate. Emphasis is on applied learning and developing basic skills appropriate to the discipline. URIUndergraduate Research Involvement Workshops Students in any major at UNCW have the opportunity to work with faculty who can mentor them through the process of advancing the scholarly activity of their academic disciplines. The URI Project has been launched as a way to gather information about the extent and breadth of extra-curricular research and creative scholar activity. One goal of the URI project is to document the different types of undergraduate research activities and provide a tool to measure changes in the number and types of activities over time. Additionally, we want to develop ways to recognize and encourage students and faculty who are involved in these activities on an extended basis. The purpose of tracking Undergraduate Research Involvement (URI) is to recognize and encourage student involvement in scholarly activity. Students can enter information about their URI online into the URI database. Students who are involved in many URI activities can also apply to be recognized as UNCW Undergraduate Research Scholars. In order to help prepare students for their undergraduate research career and beyond CSURF offers a variety of workshops throughout the year such as: Introduction to Undergraduate Research How to Design an Effective Poster Responsible Conduct of Research We also co-sponsor three workshops with the Career Center: How to Write a Powerful Personal Statement Preparing a Curriculum Vitae Prepping for Grad School These workshops are given at scheduled times throughout the year or can be scheduled one on one as students request. Additionally, CSURF offers these workshops to classrooms . Professors can request a workshop along with desired dates, and a CSURF representative will come to their classroom to present the workshop. In Fall 2011, CSURFhas conducted 14 workshops. Funding Travel Awards: Students who are traveling to professional conferences present their research may apply for a CSURFTravel Award.
