Student Opportunities in ORSP

Places to go, people to see, papers to present!

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs supports enrolled FGCU students who wish to attend conferences, workshops, symposia, or special events that enhance the students’ education experience, provide personal and professional development. These ORSP student travel awards are limited to no more than three students per conference and are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis and for as long as funding is available. Funds are provided for presentation of scholarly work at events related to the applicant’s field of study. Funds may be used to cover registration, transportation, lodging, and meal allowance costs in accordance with Florida Statute. ORSP staff will work with awardees to complete necessary paperwork. Within thirty days of travel completion, all awardees are required to submit a one-page report to the ORSP describing the benefit of the award and the overall experience. Awardees are required to participate in the annual ORSP Research Day event held at the end of each spring semester.

Council on Undergraduate Research

The mission of the Council on Undergraduate Research is to support and promote high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship. 

The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) and its affiliated colleges, universities, and individuals share a focus on providing undergraduate research opportunities for faculty and students at predominantly undergraduate institutions.  CUR believes that faculty members enhance their teaching and contribution to society by remaining active in research and by involving undergraduates in research.  CUR’s leadership works with agencies and foundations to enhance research opportunities for faculty and students.  CUR provides support for faculty development.  Our publications and outreach activities are designed to share successful models and strategies for establishing and institutionalizing undergraduate research programs.  We assist administrators and faculty members in improving and assessing the research environment at their institutions.  CUR also provides information on the importance of undergraduate research to state legislatures, private foundations, government agencies, and the U.S. Congress.  CUR welcomes faculty and administrators from all academic institutions.  The primary advocacy is in support of faculty and students at predominantly undergraduate institutions. CUR achieves this vision through efforts of its membership as organized in a divisional structure that includes biology, chemistry, geosciences, mathematics and computer science, physics and astronomy, psychology, social sciences, and an at-large division that serves administrators and other disciplines.

The Council on Undergraduate Research has initiated a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers.  The purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates with research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, and graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research.  Currently the Registry is open to students and graduate schools/employers in the fields of Astronomy, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Geosciences, Engineering, Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology/Archaeology. The registry is free of charge to students and is accessed at http://www.cur.org/about.html  We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.
